02 · The character
The metallic addition changes the appearance of the same colour. Compare the real specimens before choosing the version for your wall.
03 · From material to wall
Preparation, application and the selected materials belong to one finish. Review the complete cycle before beginning the work.
The ground is part of this Klondike system.
Keep the colour, Original or G100/G200 addition, and any eligible Star G300 option together.
Choose the Classic or brush-worked application and review the matching tools.
04 · Before you begin
Use the Klondike primer and application system. A prepared colour and its metallic additions belong to one specification; eligible Star G300 is reviewed with that choice.
Read the complete manufacturer catalogue →Lay a thin, uneven coat with 15–30 cm strokes in every direction. Repeat after 5–6 hours at 20°C. About one hour after the second coat, pass the clean PV43 across the surface in 15–20 cm strokes with pressure. Manufacturer catalogue · PDF 12. Timings depend on conditions.
Lay the first coat with a well-loaded PV76 using short 8–15 cm strokes in all directions. Smooth with a clean PV43 after about 20 minutes at 20°C. Apply the second coat with PV76 after 5–6 hours. About one hour later, work with a clean PV43 in crossing 15–20 cm strokes with pressure. Manufacturer catalogue · PDF 12. Timings depend on conditions.
Apply short 8–15 cm strokes in all directions with PV76. Repeat after 5–6 hours at 20°C. About one hour after the second coat, work across the surface with a clean PV76, using pressure. Trial this complete method before committing to a wall. Manufacturer catalogue · PDF 12. Timings depend on conditions.
Old walls: remove loose paint, wash and apply an appropriate fixative. When dry, apply Primer 900. New walls: clean, fill, dry, sand and apply a suitable fixative before Primer 900. Allow about 6 hours at 20°C before Klondike. Wood, glass, light alloys and painted iron need cleaning, degreasing or sanding and a suitable substrate primer before Primer 900. Untreated iron needs rust removal and an appropriate anti-rust treatment first. Primer 900 coverage: 10–11 m²/L for one coat. The decorative undercoat does not replace substrate-specific preparation.
Add the metallic component to the tinted finish. Star G300 is a separate optional addition. Original has no Gold G100 or Silver G200 addition. The manufacturer specifies application within 24 hours of colouring. Arrange preparation, delivery and application timing with ISF before ordering prepared material. Check the supplied product instructions and label.
Apply between +5°C and +30°C. At 20°C: dust-free in about 3 hours, dry in 4–6 hours and hardening over about 24 hours, depending on conditions. After 15 days, the manufacturer permits washing with water and ordinary detergents. Trial the full preparation and application cycle first. The catalogue warns that shade may differ by 20–30% from the illustrations depending on application; this is not a measured tolerance for a screen image. Mix batches together where needed and keep the same applicator from start to finish. Store tightly closed between +10°C and +30°C. Consult the current product documentation and safety data for site use.
The same finish changes with light, application and the surrounding colours. Use a physical sample and a trial area to confirm the intended result.

A documented material study
The original catalogue identifies this room as Argento 700 + 539 E. Beside it, the genuine specimen shows the fine crossed movement of trowelled silk. The room, close detail and reference each tell a different part of the story.
Screens cannot establish a physical colour match. Confirm colour, texture and sheen with an applied sample in your own light.
