1. Preparation
Cleaning is the most important step.
Dulux Renovation Range Tiles & Benchtops requires a clean surface to adhere to. All grease and dirt contamination must be removed or the paint will not adhere and will peel or flake off. IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaning detergents.
Scrub down all areas with Selleys® Sugar Soap and rinse with clean water to remove any dirt, oil or grease, including from grout lines. Use a plastic scouring pad on heavily contaminated surfaces.
Repeat this process using clean water, at least twice.
Completely remove any loose and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable hard epoxy-based filler such as Selleys® Knead-IT® Aqua.
Sand glossy and semi gloss finishes to a dull flat finish using p400 paper before coating.
Use a clean damp cloth to remove any dust.
Thoroughly clean surface using Selleys® Rapid Mould Killer™ and remove all silicone sealant from joints using Selleys® Silicone Remover.
Allow grout lines to dry for a minimum of 2 hours before painting.
Mask using a good quality painters tape.
2. Mixing
Add all of the Additive found underneath the blue lid to the primer first. When finished priming, repeat the process with the topcoat. Stir well for approximately 2-5 minutes with a broad flat paddle, using an up and down scooping action until the additive is completely mixed into the primer or the paint. Once mixed the primer is suitable to use for up to 3 days. The topcoat once mixed is suitable for up to 10 days.
3. Application
Primer
After the additive has been added and stirred, apply Dulux Renovation Range Primer. For full instruction see label.
Topcoat
After the additive has been added and stirred, apply at least two coats of Dulux Renovation Range Tiles & Benchtops ensuring that the previous coat is left for a minimum of eight hours before recoating.
Cut in as necessary using a 38–50mm high-quality angled sash cutter brush.
Coat surface using a 4mm nap 100mm wide microfibre roller.
Lay off. Once each section is coated, gently go over the surface in the same direction with an unloaded roller using minimal pressure. This will give a smooth consistent finish.
Note: Check the weather forecast. Avoid painting if the surface temperature is below 10°C or above 30°C and ensure the product is not applied in direct sunlight.
Clear coat
Apply Dulux Renovation Range Clear Coat as the final coating. This will add a layer of protection to the Dulux Renovation Range topcoat

FAQs splashbacks
This is not advisable as the Renovation Range Floors product contains a slip additive that roughens the surface. This would make the surface very difficult to clean if used on benchtops and splashbacks.
Splashbacks that include ceramic tiles, glass and laminate .
Caring for your resurfaced benchtops and surfaces is easy. To clean the surface, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent. The easiest way to avoid stains is to not let spills sit on the surface. All benchtop surfaces should be wiped clean regularly. For dark scuff marks or crayon, try Selleys® Barbeque wipes and a thorough rinse with water. Trivets and potholders will protect against heat damage and using cutting boards for food prep will eliminate any chance of scratching.
It is preferable to use mild detergents to clean the painted surfaces. For harder to remover stains and scum use Selleys® Sugar Soap. For oily stains use Selleys® Barbeque wipes followed immediately with a thorough clean water rinse.
Do not use scouring pad type cleaners or cleaners that contain abrasives. Do not use bleach as this can impact on the colour of some of the colourants used in Renovation Range products.
