PROIZVODI

Perlescente is a decorative paint that allows you to fill the rooms of your home with iridescent light tricks that change every time you observe the walls from a different angle.

The unique feature of this product is the presence of metallic powders that become “activated” by light as it filters into the rooms, causing the paint to vary its tone and create spectacular effects of shadow and chiaroscuro.
Perlescente is available in six different finishes: Arezzo, Siena, Lucca, Pisa, Livorno and Grosseto.

In line with the most advanced ecofriendly technologies emerging from Candis’ own research and development laboratories, Perlescentecombines heightened beauty with the tough resistance that a wall needs to survive over the years.

Characteristics

Perlescente is completely water based, averagely transpiring and ecological product, manufactured with a careful selection of raw materials. The paints are available in two different decorative solutions: Perlescente and Prestige.

The decorating process is identical for both paints and involves applying an initial base coat of coloured Fondo primer to the wall, such as Fondo ATF Siena, (light brown), Fondo ATF Livorno (grey), Fondo ATF Arezzo (yellow), Fondo ATF Grosseto (red), Fondo ATF Lucca (blue), Fondo ATF Pisa (green), followed by the application over the primer of a coat of Perlescente or Prestige using an ATF brush. To obtain the best result, the coloured Fondo primer should be applied with a flat brush, roller, or sprayed with a suitable compressor.

Preparation

Prior to applying the decorative paint, ensure that the coat of coloured Fondo primer, previously applied to the wall, is completely dry.

To obtain the Perlescente decorative effect, decant the “Perla di Luce” of choice into the desired Base Neutra Perlescente (neutral base), as shown in the catalogue (Base Neutra ATF Pisa, Arezzo, Lucca, Siena, Grosseto, Livorno), taking care to manually incorporate the “Perla di Luce” in the neutral base with a spatula and subsequently mixing with a mechanical mixer until the dust has completely dispersed. This operation is important to ensure that the final decorative effect is created with perfection.

For example, the Base Neutra ATF Pisa together with “Perle di Luce” or “Perle Prestige” selected from the available assortment, are to be applied to Fondo ATF Pisa. This also applies to all other colours. Using a Candis ATF brush, apply the decorative paint with crosshatched strokes.

It is advisable to proceed without interruptions and to avoid brushing over previously painted areas.
