Preparation
Preparation
Back
For the best results, ensure surfaces to be coated are sound, clean and free from all defective or poorly adhering material such as dirt, grease, rust or paint.
- Put down dust sheets to protect anything you don't want to get paint on
- Remove any loose rust, corrosion or flaking paint prior to coating, using a wire brush, sanding or light blast cleaning
- If the metal surface is already painted then clean with a suitable detergent and thoroughly rinse
- Lightly abrade smooth metal surfaces to form a sound key. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry
- Repair any cracks or holes with a suitable metal filler and allow to harden

Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

- Lightly stir the paint and do not mix vigorously
- Apply using a good quality synthetic brush or microfibre roller
