Indigo Rustic Texture Finish is made with high quality marble powder, silica sand and quartz in a rich acrylic binding medium. This paint gives a very unique and different feel making the walls stand out. This material has excellent binding to the surface and has the ability to hide small cracks.
If the previous coating is in good condition and requires no levelling, then putty is not required for repainting.
However, in cases where the previous coating has deteriorated leaving behind uneven surface, or in order to fill nail holes and small cracks, putty will be required.
Primers are designed to improve adhesion and bind the surface. It cannot withstand the attack of harsh elements. If you don’t apply a coat of paint over the wall primer, it will most likely deteriorate and turn into a chalk-like powder.
The role of the putty is to smoothen / level; the surface and it is essentially an undercoat. It should under all circumstances be over coated using a primer, followed by two-three coats of emulsion.
Ideally puttied surfaces must be overcoated within 5-7 days and not left exposed.
It is not recommended to add colour to putty.
