In the case of new hard surfaces, the surface has to be washed thoroughly if required and allowed to dry out
completely before the application of paint. Whatever be the type of paint used on these surfaces a primer or sealing
coat shall be applied first. For plastered surfaces, all defective plaster has to be removed and holes in internal
plaster has to be filled properly and the edge be closely knit and the filling rubbed down level with the surrounding
surface before plastering.
