Exterior painting procedure
Having a smooth exterior surface, ENGLISHCAST™ baths and feet are easy to decorate using either oil or water based paints.

a. First rub down surface with a fine abrasive paper. Wipe down thoroughly to remove any dust before applying paint.

b. Using a pencil, mark the outline of each foot on the bath. Important:Do not paint over this area as it could result in poor adhesion and possible failure.

c. Following the paint manufacturer's instructions, apply the paint to the bath. We recommend two topcoats. Use a smaller roller or brush, applying paint in a random fashion so as not to create paint lines.

d. If you wish to paint the feet follow the above procedure using a small brush or spray paint instead of a roller. Contrasting colours can look particularly attractive.

As before, do not paint the inside of the feet as it could result in poor adhesion and possible failure.

e. To finish, depending on the type of paint used, apply a coat of water or oil-based matt varnish to add further protection. This is however, not essential.
