Fyllnadsfärg

Fyllnadsfärg, or filler paint, is a type of paint primarily used to prepare surfaces for a final coat of decorative paint. Its main purpose is to fill small imperfections, smooth out unevenness, and create a uniform base. This makes the subsequent topcoat adhere better and appear more flawless.

Typically, fyllnadsfärg is thicker and has a higher solids content than regular topcoats. This allows it to build up a thicker layer, effectively bridging small cracks, pores, and other surface irregularities. It can be applied to various substrates, including wood, plaster, drywall, and metal, after appropriate surface preparation.

The application of fyllnadsfärg is often done in one or more coats, depending on the severity of the surface defects. After application, it is usually sanded smooth once it has dried. This sanding process further refines the surface, ensuring a perfectly smooth canvas for the final decorative paint. Common areas where fyllnadsfärg is used include interior walls, ceilings, trim, and furniture. It is an essential step in achieving a professional and high-quality finish in painting projects.
