Suitable Substrates

Renders according to DIN EN 998-1 class CS II - CS IV, old render surfaces, stable synthetic resin, silicate and silicone resin paints, ETICS NEW and old stock

The substrates must be clean, solid, dry, stable and free of separating substances. Observe VOB, Part C, DIN 18363, Para. 3.

Substrate Preparation

Exterior surfaces:

Plasters according to DIN EN 998-1 class CS II - CS IV / compressive strength min. 2 N/mm²:
New renders can be coated after a sufficient standing time, generally after 2 weeks at approx. 20°C and 65 % relative humidity. In less favorable weather conditions, e.g. influenced by wind or rain, significantly longer standing times must be observed.

Old plaster:
Re-plastered areas must be well set and dry. On coarsely porous, absorbent, slightly sanding renders, apply a primer coat of OptiSilan TiefGrund or CapaSol RapidGrund. On heavily sanding, powdery plasters, apply a primer coat of Dupa-Putzfestiger. Mineral light plasters of MG PII are not suitable for coating with CapaGold/CapaSilber.

Concrete:
Clean concrete surfaces with dirt deposits or a layer of powdery grain mechanically or by pressure water jetting in compliance with legal regulations. Prime low-absorbent or smooth surfaces with EffektGrund. Prime highly absorbent surfaces with OptiSilan TiefGrund or CapaSol RapidGrund 111. Prime floury surfaces with Dupa-Putzfestiger.

Sustainable lacquer or emulsion paint coatings:
Roughen glossy surfaces and paint coatings. Clean soiled, chalking old coats by pressure water jetting, manual washing or other suitable method in compliance with legal regulations. Prime with EffektGrund.

Load-bearing, old plasto-elastic emulsion paint coatings, e.g. old Cap-elast surfaces:
Are not suitable for coating with CapaGold/CapaSilber.

Sustainable synthetic resin plaster coatings: 
Clean old plaster using a suitable method. In the case of wet cleaning, allow the surfaces to dry thoroughly before further treatment in compliance with legal regulations. Prime with EffektGrund.

Non-stable varnish, emulsion paint or synthetic resin plaster coatings: 
Remove completely using a suitable method, e.g. mechanically or by stripping and cleaning with high-pressure hot water jets in compliance with legal regulations. Prime with EffektGrund. On highly absorbent, sandy surfaces, apply a primer coat with Dupa-Putzfestiger.

Non-load-bearing mineral coatings:
Remove completely by sanding, brushing, scraping, pressure water jetting in compliance with legal regulations or other suitable measures. In the case of wet cleaning, allow the surfaces to dry thoroughly before further treatment. Prime with Dupa Plaster Strengthener.

Wooden substrates:
Wooden substrates are not suitable for coating with CapaGold/CapaSilber.

Galvanized surfaces:
Zinc substrates are not suitable for coating with CapaGold/CapaSilber.

Hard PVC:
Plastic substrates are not suitable for coating with CapaGold/CapaSilber.

Coil coatings:
Clean with ammoniacal wetting agent wash. Prime with e.g. Capacryl adhesion primer. Please note: Coil coatings containing silicone cannot be painted over. As these cannot be detected visually on site, a test coat must always be applied followed by an adhesion test.

Exposed brickwork:
Only frost-resistant, absorbent facing bricks or clinker bricks without foreign inclusions are suitable for painting. The brickwork must be crack-free, dry and free of salt. Apply a primer coat with Dupa Plaster Strengthener. If brown discoloration appears in the primer coat, CapaGold/CapaSilber cannot be used.

Surfaces contaminated by industrial fumes or soot:
Are not suitable for coating with CapaGold/CapaSilber.

Fungal or algae-infested surfaces:
If algae or fungal infestation is present, the surfaces must first be cleaned by wet blasting in compliance with the statutory regulations. Then wash the surfaces with Capatox or FungiGrund and allow to dry thoroughly.

Cracked plaster or concrete surfaces:
are not suitable for coating with CapaGold/CapaSilber without prior removal of the cracks.

Surfaces with salt efflorescence:
Dry-brush and remove salt efflorescence. Apply a primer coat with Dupa Plaster Strengthener. When coating surfaces with salt efflorescence, no guarantee can be given for the permanent adhesion of the coating or the prevention of salt efflorescence.

Defects:
Repair small defects in mineral substrates with Caparol Fassaden-Feinspachtel.
Large defects up to 20 mm should preferably be repaired with Histolith-Renovierspachtel. Re-priming filler areas.
Unevenness, chipped plaster and uneven structures can be emphasized by using CapaGold and CapaSilber.

External thermal insulation composite system NEW:
CapaGold/CapaSilber can be used over the entire surface of ETICS-B (Dalmatian or EPS boards) if the following structure is observed:
Reinforcement: Capatect-Klebe-und Spachtelmasse 190; Capatect-ZF-Spachtel 699 or Capatect CarbonSpachtel
Fabric: Capatect fabric 650/110
Primer: Capatect adhesive and filler 190 must be primed with Putzgrund 610 before the façade render is applied
Finishing render: AmphiSilan or ThermoSan NQG façade render K15, K20, K30 or R20, R30.
For the execution of ETICS B, please refer to the respective product information.
Felted or smooth ETICS surfaces are not approved for coating with CapaGold or CapaSilber!

External thermal insulation composite system OLD:
(prerequisite: insulated with EPS, solid and load-bearing).
The surface to be coated with CapaGold/CapaSilber on existing ETICS may only be applied in partial areas of max. 20 %. The partial areas to be coated must be prepared as described below. On plaster of mortar group PII and on load-bearing synthetic resin, silicate and silicone resin plasters (see TI Suitable substrates) must be built up as follows after the necessary substrate preparation:
Reinforcement: Capatect-Klebe- und Spachtelmasse 190
Fabric: Capatect fabric 650/110
Primer: Putzgrund 610
Finishing render: Capatect AmphiSilan or ThermoSan NQG facade render K15, K20, K30 or R20, R30.
For the execution of ETICS B, please refer to the respective product information.
Felted or smooth ETICS surfaces are not approved for coating with CapaGold or CapaSilber!
With EnEV-compliant ETICS topping, the full-surface use of CapaGold/CapaSilber is possible under the above-mentioned criteria (ETICS NEW).

Load-bearing coatings:
Directly recoat matt, slightly absorbent coatings. Roughen glossy surfaces and lacquer coatings.

Non-stable coatings:
Remove non-absorbent varnish and emulsion paint or synthetic resin plaster coatings. Coat directly on slightly absorbent, smooth surfaces. Prime coarse porous, sandy or absorbent surfaces with OptiSilan TiefGrund or CapaSol RapidGrund. Remove non-load-bearing mineral paint coatings mechanically and remove dust from the surfaces. Prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Distemper coatings:
Wash off the primer. Apply a primer coat with Dupa Plaster Strengthener. Alternatively, remove mechanically, rinse and prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Uncoated woodchip, relief or embossed paper wallpapers:
Coat without pre-treatment.

Removed wallpaper:
Wash off paste and waste residue. Prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Mold-infested surfaces:
Remove mold by wet cleaning. Wash surfaces thoroughly with Capatox and allow to dry thoroughly. The legal and official regulations (e.g. the Ordinance on Biological Substances and the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances) must be observed. Increased protection against re-infestation can be achieved with the products Malerit-W, Indeko-W and Fungitex-W.

Surfaces with nicotine, water, soot or grease stains:
Wash off nicotine stains and soot or grease stains with water with the addition of grease-dissolving cleaning agents and allow to dry thoroughly. Clean dried water stains by dry brushing. Apply a sealing primer coat with Caparol AquaSperrgrund fein (observe Technical Information No. 384) or Caparol-Filtergrund grob (observe Technical Information No. 845).

Wood and wood-based materials:
Are not suitable for coating with CapaGold/CapaSilber.

Defects:
Fill deep holes accordingly.

Note Q2/Q3 filling / thin layers of gypsum < 0.5 mm:
When using gypsum-based, hydraulically setting fillers in quality level Q2/Q3, a transparent, water-based primer is recommended. Please refer to the Maler&Lackierer leaflet no. 2 -9/2020 "Adhesion problems of coatings on filled gypsum (cardboard) boards" issued by the Bundesverband Farbe, Gestaltung, Bautenschutz and the Bundesausschuss Farbe und Sachwertschutz.
As an alternative to gypsum-based Q3 fillers, fillers with pasty fillers have proven their worth.

Method of Application

Stir up very thoroughly before use and stir repeatedly during application. Apply the product with paint brush or roller, depending on the texture/structure of the substrate. Trimming areas should be rolled again. Always work wet-on-wet. Use medium pile rollers (pile height: 12-16 mm) without tendency of material accumulation in their border area.

Roller application (only advisable for coarser textured renders): Apply CapaGold/CapaSilber evenly, spread across and roll over in one direction to obtain a uniform alignment of the metallic effect pigments.

On smooth, finely-textured substrates the applied product should be treated with a creative application technique (using brush, stippling brush, filling, etc.).
