Begin with the substrate and the selected finish
Prepare a clear brief before planning a wall or furniture application. The material system and product instructions should guide the work.
Identify the substrate, current coating, approximate coated area, and anything unusual about the shape or condition. Photographs can explain a surface, but the written description should identify what is known and what still needs confirmation.
A finish code records the appearance you selected. Preparation, application sequence, tools, and any protective layers depend on the relevant material information. Ask for that information rather than adapting instructions from a visually similar finish.
Request Product DocumentsFor walls, include the room type, area, and site schedule. For furniture, include the component type, edges or curves, coated area, and the process you currently use.
Send the selected finishes and surface information together. This makes the material and application questions easier to review.
