03 · From material to wall
Preparation, application and the selected materials belong to one finish. Review the complete cycle before beginning the work.
Select the surface and the way it will be worked.
Natural flakes and other method-specific materials belong to the chosen application.
Review the substrate, Primer 1200 and the matched finish quantities.
04 · Before you begin
The Natural flakes effect uses its specified additions. Confirm the substrate and intended exterior use before applying; preparation and conditions remain part of the system.
Read the complete manufacturer catalogue →Mix the Natural Scales into the already tinted Meteore 10, then follow the trowelled cycle. Catalogue additions: 0.040 L per 1 L of Meteore 10; 0.160 L per 4 L; 0.480 L per 12 L. The particles are part of the material. A colour-chart image without scales does not show this version.
Prepare a stable, clean support, repair as needed, then apply Primer 1200. Wait 4 hours at 20°C before the Meteore 10 cycle. Trowelled and brushed routes allow 8 hours between coats at 20°C. For Civile, apply one approximately 2 mm coat, lift with the trowel and soften with water after 20–30 minutes at 20°C. This follows the current manufacturer specification; the older catalogue English paragraph differs.
Protect exterior work from rain for at least 72 hours after application. NH is a thickener, not an anti-mould additive. For A and B shades in the trowelled, natural-flake and Civile methods, keep it separate and add 15 ml per litre of coloured body on application day after checking viscosity. The brushed method does not include NH. Apply and store above +10°C and below +30°C. Full hardening takes about 28 days, depending on conditions. After hardening, the manufacturer describes a breathable film with resistance to knocks and normal abrasion. The catalogue warns of 15–20% colour variation from its printed examples and between batches. Trial the complete cycle on a small area; check adhesion, resistance and appearance before continuing.
These notes use the supplied Intonaco catalogue, edition 07/24, particularly PDF 13. The catalogue and application film should be read together. A site specification also needs the actual support and exposure.
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.
