The product, in perspective.
Crown +3 is a modified-alkyd masonry primer used beneath an appropriate finishing system. It is a preparation coat for masonry or gypsum, so tell us the substrate and intended topcoat rather than selecting it by colour alone.
A masonry primer for a properly prepared painting system. Keep the product name and substrate clear when quoting. Primer selection should address the wall condition rather than only the colour of the topcoat.
Where it works.
The documented surface or use for Crown Plus 3 Masonary Primer is masonry and gypsum. Identify the actual material and its condition before selecting the preparation and finishing system. An existing coating, a newly prepared base and a repaired area can need different treatment.
- A masonry primer for a properly prepared painting system.
- Available quotation packs and component requirements are checked for your selected product, rather than inferred from another grade.
Before you start.
Clean and dry the substrate, fill defects and sand repairs smooth. Loose or chalking previous paint must be removed to a sound base before the primer route is selected.
For a useful specification check, share whether the surface is bare or previously treated, the name of the existing coating if known, and any visible damage or moisture exposure. Preparation products should be selected for that condition before the finishing material is applied.
Companion products to specify
The technical sheet references these materials for its preparation, thinning or coating scenarios. Confirm the scenario for your substrate.
Application and project planning.
Follow the Plus 3 Masonry Primer application instructions and the compatible oil- or water-based finishing system.
Keep the product name and substrate clear when quoting. Primer selection should address the wall condition rather than only the colour of the topcoat.
Measure the area to be treated and allow for the number of coats required by the coating system. Surface texture, absorption, application method and material losses can change the amount needed. Tell us the area and proposed system when requesting packs; the published coverage is a planning reference, not a guarantee of your project’s consumption.

Good questions, useful answers.
Do I need to remove failing paint first?
Yes. The sheet requires loose, flaking or chalking material to be brought back to a firm base before the new system is applied.
What should I include in my quotation?
Give the exact product name, requested pack size, quantity and relevant colour reference. Add the surface, application and destination so the product and delivery requirements can be checked together.
How do I choose the right pack and quantity?
Use the available pack choices and the quantity required by your coating or installation plan. Tell us the area, number of coats or relevant joint dimensions if you need help assembling a material list.
Can I confirm a colour from the product picture?
The image represents product packaging, not an exact shade match. Use a manufacturer colour reference for a coloured product, or specify that colour is not applicable for the material you need.
Keep the specification close.
Use the full manufacturer technical information when planning preparation and application. Include the exact product and system details when contacting KariVex about a quotation.
