Which product for which surface, step-by-step application, coverage and choosing colours — in brief.
Which product for which surface?
The interior range: Pro Mat Interior Wall Paint, Silicone Elite Semi-Matt Interior Wall Paint and Silicone Elite Soft Mat Interior Wall Paint. All three are applied to gypsum and cement-based plastered surfaces indoors.

Pro Ceiling Paint; it is applied to gypsum, cement-based plaster and similar ceiling surfaces.
The exterior range: Silicone Elite Matt Exterior Paint, Silicone Pro Mat Exterior Paint and, as a coating, Silicone Lunateks Textured Exterior Coating. They are used on concrete, aerated concrete, block, brick and mineral-plastered exterior surfaces.

Silicone Tile Paint; it can be used on clay and concrete roof tiles and on rendered surfaces (concrete, aerated concrete, briquette, brick, mineral render).
Concrete Primer is applied to fair-faced concrete surfaces, especially before gypsum and plaster, to give the surface a key.
For interior and ceiling paints, 1/7 Concentrate Clear Primer or Opaque Acrylic Primer is applied to absorbent surfaces. Silicone Exterior Primer or Opaque Acrylic Primer goes before the Elite Mat and Pro Mat exterior paints and before Lunateks Grenli; Tile Paint goes on a clean, dry surface without a primer.

Painting a wall step by step
Clean the surface; remove dirt, grease, loose and blistered layers and dust, and repair cracks and gaps with a suitable filler.
Apply one coat of the primer named on the product label to absorbent surfaces. Do not apply the top coat before the primer is fully dry.
Paints are thinned with water by volume if needed: at most 10 % (by product; Concrete Primer at most 30 %, Clear Primer 6–7 L of water per 1 L, Tile Paint and Lunateks are not thinned). Product-specific values are on the product page and in the technical data sheet.
Interior and exterior paints are applied in two coats by brush or roller. Lunateks Grenli is applied in one coat; Tile Paint is sprayed undiluted with a spraying machine.
On Elite Mat Exterior and Pro Mat Exterior, wait at least 6 hours between coats; with the other paints, apply the next coat once the previous one has dried. For example, when applying Pro Mat Exterior the ambient temperature should be between +5 °C and +30 °C.
How is paint coverage calculated?
Our Paint Calculator uses this rule: amount needed = area (m²) × number of coats ÷ coverage (m²/L or m²/kg). The coverage is the middle of the product's single-coat range in the catalogue, and 10 % is added for waste.
Catalogue coverage (one coat): Silicone Elite Semi-Matt Interior Wall Paint 12–18 m²/L, Pro Mat Interior Wall Paint 8–12 m²/kg, Silicone Elite Matt Exterior Paint 8–10 m²/L, Silicone Tile Paint 4–6 m²/L. Actual coverage depends on the type and absorbency of the surface.
40 m² of wall, two coats, Silicone Elite Semi-Matt Interior Wall Paint (12–18 m²/L; middle 15): 40 × 2 ÷ 15 × 1.1 ≈ 5.9 L. The calculator also suggests the bucket combination for this amount.
What to consider when choosing a colour
Indoors, colour follows room size, daylight and use. Light tones open up small rooms; deeper tones add character to large ones.
Luna Tones has three colour cards: interior (58 colours), exterior (30 colours) and roof tile (6 colours). Outside, light colours reflect sunlight and dark tones hold heat.
In the "2027 Trend Colour" section of the Colours page you can see the Luna Tones 2027 trend colour Moss and Linen, four ready palettes that follow the 2027 interior trends, and how they look in a room picture.
