To obtain optimum results, ensure surfaces to be coated are structurally sound, free from all poorly adhering or defective material and clean from dirt, grease, rust or paint.

• Put down dust sheets to protect any surfaces that are to remain unpainted
• Loose flaking rust or paint and debris will need to be removed 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, thoroughly rinse and allow to dry
• Repair holes, cracks or imperfections to the surface substrate with a suitable metal filler and allow to harden
• Lightly abrade smooth metal surfaces to form a sound key. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry

Please Note:

• In the case of new galvanised steel, let the surface weather until dull and then prepare the substrate with the instructions above

Always perform a small test area to assess colour and compatibility of the finish.

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

• Ideally, apply between 10-30°c, avoiding extremes of temperature
• Stir the paint before applying, ensuring to work the sides and base of the tin to help a consistent mix
• Apply using a good quality synthetic brush or microfibre roller
• For best results, 2 thin coats are recommended
• Dilution is not required as the paint is supplied at the correct consistency
• Leave 4 hours drying time between coats
