It will last for as long as you want until you decide to repaint or remove it.

Yes you can. Just apply 1 layer of Nippon Momento® Clear Coat to protect your Nippon Momento® walls, if you do.

On Laminate/Wood: If the surface of the laminate or wood is smooth, some light sanding will be required first in order to create a rough surface for better paint adhesion

For Textured Paint Series:

• Apply 2 coats of the Momento® Primer followed by your preferred Momento® Topcoat
• Apply 1-2 coats of Momento® Clear Coat for better durability

On Tiles: In order to paint on tiles, apply 1 coat of the Nippon Hycote 51WT first and then followed by the same method you would paint Momento® on your walls.

For Textured Paint Series:

• Apply 1 coat of the Nippon Hycote 51WT
• Apply 2 coats of the Momento® Primer followed by your preferred Momento® Topcoat
• Apply 1 coat of Momento® Clear Coat for better durability

Textured Paint

• Paint 2 coats of Nippon Momento® Primer onto existing wall.
• Paint 1 coat of any Nippon Momento® topcoat variant of your choice (Elegant, Sparkle Pearl, Sparkle Silver or Sparkle Gold).
• Use the spatula to gently smooth over the painted surface after 10 – 15 minutes, when it is semi-dry.

Using the 3″ brush that comes with the toolkit is highly recommended as the bristles are specially designed to be neither too hard nor too soft.

• Rinse it under running water immediately after use.
• Let it dry after.

• Remove all dirt, dust, and grease from the surface.
• Be sure to remove any dust or cobwebs.
• Don’t forget when painting the kitchen and bathrooms, check around corners, air vents, ceilings, shower stall, sink, switch plates, etc.

• Mask off areas that will not be painted with a masking tape to avoid making a mess.
• Start painting from the corners to ensure a smooth painting process.
• Dip the brush and sweep it along the edges and corners.
• Start moving the brush out and using irregular criss-cross strokes.
• Work the paint in one direction (E.g: L to R or R to L) in a top-to-bottom approach.

• Use the same batch of paint for each job or structure.
• Be sure to be consistent in the amount of paint applied.

• To prevent joint lines, keep a wet edge to avoid paint from drying out.
• Don’t stop painting in the middle of a continuous wall or trim surface.
• Do not stop painting until the whole wall is completed. If you do, paint will dry and colour will intensify and darken causing joint lines.

If paint is still wet:

• Dilute the paint with some water, go over the lap marks and smudge the intensified area using a circular motion or criss-cross strokes.

If paint has dried:

• Use the leftover paint available or get a new tub of the same variant.
• Then, add paint onto areas A, B, C and D that are now lighter than the lap marks to make it even again.

Note: Red line in diagram reflects joint lines.
