Meteore 8

Smooth: work one coat with PV43 in varied strokes and gently smooth as the body tightens. Trowelled: use shorter, irregular strokes while wet to build relief. Veined: spread the body in the intended direction, then form streaks with PV84. These routes use two different Lamé colours applied separately after drying and sanding. Burano uses two body coats followed by one Lamé colour; arrange the exact reference and a physical trial with ISF. The full catalogue explains the working areas, drying times and coat sequence for each method. Check these instructions and the actual substrate before work.

These are manufacturer coverage ranges, not a quantity for your wall. Complete Wall Order retains ISF’s calculation and pack authority. Burano is reviewed separately. Primer 400: approximately 20–25 m²/L, one coat diluted 50%. Allow about 4 hours at 20°C before the finish. Meteore 8: dust-free in about 1 hour, dry in 6–8 hours and hardened in about 48 hours, depending on conditions. Apply between +5°C and +30°C. PV43 is the main trowel. PV84 creates the Veined streaks. For light references with untinted Meteore 8, the catalogue recommends a PV91 plastic trowel for Lamé.

Meteore 8 is an interior coating. It is not suitable for constant contact with water or damp conditions. It is slightly washable with water and common detergents from 15 days after application. Light, handwork and the underlying thickness affect the appearance. The catalogue warns that shades may vary by 20–30% from the printed examples and between batches. A screen cannot settle the finished colour or relief. Test the full cycle on a small area before completing the wall. Mix material of the same product and colour for the job to avoid batch differences; keep the different Lamé colours separate.

The small colour chips alongside many Meteore 8 Rifs are coordinated colours for V55 Matt and V88 Satiné: separate wall enamels with their own preparation, application and performance. They are not alternative Meteore 8 bases, Lamé layers or protective topcoats. Their washability and other performance claims do not transfer to Meteore 8. Where the catalogue prints a pairing, it appears inside that reference’s study.

The same finish changes with light, application and the surrounding colours. Use a physical sample and a trial area to confirm the intended result.
