01 · Make it yours
Begin with the colour.
Lux and Matt are separate materials. The ready-coloured 600–616 collection belongs to Lux; it is not a matching Matt range.

Digital specimens show the material’s character. Confirm colour and texture with a physical sample in your own light.
02 · The character
Gather the grain. Give it direction.
Sand Dune creates an irregular, softly gathered surface. Stratified Grand Canyon carries the grain in a more pronounced direction.
03 · From material to wall
Made through the method.
Preparation, application and the selected materials belong to one finish. Review the complete cycle before beginning the work.

The practical detail.

Work about 1–2 m² at a time with the PV76 brush, alternating small strokes in all directions. After about 5–10 minutes at 20°C, use the brush free of paint to shift and smooth the grain in all directions. Use softer strokes to remove brush streaks.
See the handwork
Work about 1–2 m² at a time with PV76. Use small amounts and uneven oblique or vertical strokes, 10–15 cm long. After about 5–10 minutes at 20°C, rework with the brush free of paint, following the original direction. Gently remove brush lines in that same direction.
Preparation → finish
Start with a stable support. Remove impurities, peeling or chalking paint; wash with suitable soap and fill cracks as needed. Apply a covering coat of PRIMART 600 diluted 15–20% with water, using a wool roller, brush or spray. After about 4 hours at 20°C, apply Sabulador, ready for use.
Coverage, time & care
These are catalogue guides, not a calculated order. The wall and chosen system determine the plan.
Ready colours, tinting & glitter
Standard colours are made by tinting Lux or Matt with COLORI’ or the VALCLONE system. Catalogue Col. 600–616 are supplied ready-coloured in Lux. A Matt counterpart is not implied. The catalogue also documents Lux Col. 608 combinations. Keep the whole combination together; “608” alone is not its full identity. For Sand Dune with glitter, the catalogue specifies STAR P400 Silver or STAR P405 Gold: 40 g per 2.5 L of Sabulador Lux or Matt. Discuss a physical effect-specific reference with ISF; the ordinary Sand Dune board does not promise glitter.
Trial, batches & original source
Trial the complete application cycle on a small area, checking adhesion, resistance and final appearance. Natural ingredients, resins and the working method make every application individual. The manufacturer warns of 15–20% shade variation from catalogue reproductions and variation between batches. Finish at a corner before changing batches; mix remaining and new material before continuing. Store tightly closed between +5°C and +30°C. Read the full manufacturer safety and application information before use.
Samples and colour in your room
The same finish changes with light, application and the surrounding colours. Use a physical sample and a trial area to confirm the intended result.
