What are some precautions before wrapping painted interior walls?

Always perform a Media Compatibility Test prior to full-scale production and application.

If you need to patch or repaint the wall, consult or hire a professional painter to ensure best results.

If applying film to a newly painted surface, follow all drying, and curing instructions found in the paint’s data sheet prior to surface preparation and film application.

Always refer to the paint manufacturer’s instructions for actual curing time of the paint. The paint must be allowed to fully cure at room temperature and low relative humidity for a minimum of one week (7 days) prior to film application.

No-VOC, Low-VOC, or Zero-VOC paints require longer curing times than regular VOC paints.

Weathered or chalky surfaces must be refurbished.

Primer and paint must be compatible: of the same base and paint manufacturer.

Repositioning the film during application may peel paint especially if the wall has been repainted several times in the past.

Oil alkyd primers and enamels are slow to dry and will adversely affect the adhesion of a film if not fully cured.
