Gapi Paints Facile e Veloce Bath Enamel

Facile e Veloce bath enamel gives you a professional result while overcoming all the usual difficulties of applying this category of paint. It’s a water-based, one-component product, but its special formulation guarantees exceptional adhesion, allowing direct application onto surfaces—even tricky ones—without special pre-treatment or the need for a primer. The bath enamel is available in white and medium bases, both pigmentable to achieve the full range of colors from the color chart (Gapi Paints).

Preliminary Operations for Applying Bath Enamel

1. Surface pre-treatment: Only requires removing all traces of oil, grease, or wax by cleaning with ethyl alcohol. For stubborn residues and encrustations, use an abrasive sponge.
2. If you plan to color the external wall of the shower and just one row of tiles on the adjacent wall, mark off the area with masking tape.

How to Prepare Gapi Paints Facile e Veloce Bath Enamel

1. The can of Facile e Veloce contains 0.625 liters of product, covering 7 m² of surface. The micro-granule pigments, available in calibrated gram bottles (2g, 4g, 8g, etc.), allow you to achieve the exact shade you want.

How to Apply the Transparent Finish

1. After the colored enamel has dried, apply a transparent protective finish to ensure durability and shine. Use a high-quality brush or roller for a smooth, even coat.
2. Allow the finish to cure fully according to the manufacturer’s instructions before using the bathroom.
