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

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

• If there is any adverse reaction, this will appear with 1 hour. If a reaction occurs, remove all paint and wash down with a degreaser. Rinse with warm water and allow to dry.

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

• Ideally, apply avoiding extremes of temperature, between 8-35°C
• Lightly stir the paint and do not mix vigorously
• Apply using a good quality synthetic brush or microfibre roller
• For best results, 2 thin coats are recommended
• Leave 4 hours drying time between coats
