SURFACE PREPARATION:
New Concrete
New concrete should dry for 14-28 days under normal weather conditions before painting. Surface to be painted should be clean and dry, free from oil, grease, dust, dirt, contaminants, and all loose grit and mortar. 

Wooden Surfaces
Surface to be painted should be clean and dry, free from dust, dirt, and other foreign matter. Hammer all nails deep enough to apply putty. Sand rough wood until smooth and then dust off before painting.

Repainting
Scrape off all loose, scaling, flaking, and peeling paint manually or by using a paint and varnish remover. Wash surfaces clean and completely remove any residue. Let it dry. 

Use a surface conditioner in case the surface to be painted is chalky. In case of mildew infestation, treat with a bleach solution (1:3, laundry bleach to water, respectively) by swabbing or brushing. To ensure proper treatment, let stand for 24 hours before washing off residue. Let dry.

For repainting other surfaces such as wood, follow the first step then apply the appropriate primer before recoating.
