Paint Guide & More

Wall Preparation

Wall Preparation

If you are installing your decals onto a painted wall please ensure that the wall doesn't have any prior damage.

A two coat paint systems is standard for interior walls and is perfectly suitable for our decals. 

If the walls you are placing your decals onto have been freshly painted, please let the paint to properly dry before applying them to your walls. We recommend allowing 1 full week after painting to then apply your decals.

You must ensure the wall surface is clean, dry and does not have any dust or fibres on it.

It is a good idea to clean the wall surface before application. Do not use chemicals. Ensure you clean the wall surface with a warm cloth or mico-fibre towel. 

Please note: PhotoTex is not recommended for use on textured surfaces, paints containing teflon, washable paints (see more information below), paint without a base layer of quality primer or paint that is flaking or in need of repair.

Paints

PhotoTex is not recommend for application on washable paints manufactured by any brand, or with any name containing Wash and Wear. “Wash and wear” or “washable” paints contain an additive that acts as a repellent to the adhesive. In Australia, these paints are commonly known as “wash and wear” paints. Multiple Australian and international brands stock these “stain resistant”, “washable”, "wipe clean" products.  We advise our consumers to ALWAYS check the paint type used on their walls before purchasing our product.

Both we, and our customers have found that our smaller decals will adhere to “wash and wear” or washable paints, however we make no guarantees. Due to the heavier weight of our murals large arch decals, we NEVER recommend applying our murals or large arch decals to washable paints. 

Important consideration: Renters should be especially cautious and note the points above, given that they may not have prepared and painted the walls themselves.
