Preparation for Painting Trespa®
A good preparation phase is crucial before you start. This ensures a neat and durable coat of paint.
✓ Make sure the workspace is clean and dry. This prevents adhesion issues caused by dust or dirt.
✓ Protect nearby surfaces with protective film. This keeps unwanted paint splashes in check.
✓ Don’t forget your safety gear. Use gloves to protect yourself from chemical substances.
Tip
Test a small section first to see how the paint adheres and dries on the Trespa® material. This can prevent colour discrepancies or poor adhesion.

steps
-
Cleaning: Start by cleaning the Trespa® surface. Use a degreaser and a lint-free cloth to remove dirt and grease for optimal paint adhesion. You can use a paint cleaner, ammonia, or anti-static cleaner.
-
Sanding: Lightly sand with sandpaper (grit 220-280) to create a rough texture. Use scouring wool like Scotch-Brite for a finer finish afterwards.
-
Dusting Off: Remove all dust with a lint-free cloth. Be thorough to ensure the primer adheres properly.
-
Applying Primer: Apply a layer of multiprimer or plastic primer for an optimal base. That smooth Trespa® surface requires this extra step for strong adhesion.
-
Undercoat: Apply an undercoat that aligns with the type of paint you plan to use, whether for exterior or interior applications. This ensures the final paint layer adheres well and is covering fully.
-
Painting: Once the undercoat is dry, apply your chosen paint. Use a foam roller for a smooth, even finish. Allow each layer to dry thoroughly before adding another layer (if needed).
-
Finishing: Carefully check the end result. Address any imperfections with an extra coat of paint or lightly sand and repaint where necessary.
With this guide, you can paint your Trespa® panels like a professional. You’ll achieve a sleek and fresh look that lasts.
