Also known as GYPSUM BOARD OR SHEETROCK
After applying joint compound and drywall tape, allow the surface to dry. Carefully sand the surface using light grade sandpaper to smooth any rough spots. It is very important to thoroughly remove the fine dust produced by using a vacuum, brush or by rubbing with a micro-fibre cloth.
Drywall is susceptible to ‘flashing’ especially along joints and where fillers are used leading to areas of uneven absorbency. Prime well to create a uniform surface. Use 2 coats Ulttima Concrete & Drywall Primer or seal with a full coat of Aqua Overglaze. Top coat as desired.
Recommend using flat or low sheen water-based paint which will make walls appear even smoother such as Ulttima Plus Interior Flat Emulsion or Pro Speed Cover Flat or Eggshell Emulsion.
Don’t be tempted to aggressively sand out any small impressions. Fill smooth with the prime coat.

From Aluminum to Zinc and everything in between, this handy guide is a life-saver with specifications from our Vice President of Technical and Head of Innovation (who has been designing formulas specifically for the Caribbean environment for 30 years) identifying the exact coating system you’ll need to guarantee success in coating virtually any surface.
This guide details coating systems to effectively colour, coat and protect virtually any surface encountered in standard construction, renovation and maintenance environments. It provides an outline of the preparation required for successful coating and identifies recommended coating systems for a variety of substrates as well as how to effectively solve surface challenges.
Note: While every effort is made to detail accurate and effective systems, specific project conditions are unknown and can be highly variable. This guide is therefore limited and outlines generally applicable principles. It is not a specification.
While Harris/ B-H Paints do supply specialist High Performance Coatings (HPCs) these fall outside the scope of this guide. HPCs are a class of technically advanced protective coatings designed to give superior levels of impact, abrasion and corrosion protection designed for aggressive environments including high traffic areas and in commercial and industrial applications.
