STANDARD APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Correct surface preparation is essential. All areas being treated must be thoroughly cleaned removing all loose material, dust, dirt, grime, or any other barrier to adhesion.

  • Remove all oil with degreaser and pressure of steam wash;

  • Remove rust and all surface dirt and wipe thoroughly;

  • Apply rust converter and etch primer on all bare metal areas;

  • Sand well to promote adhesion;

  • Stir well before use;

  • Apply with an underbody gun or by brush or roller.

  • Apply 2-3 coats allowing approximately air flash between coats – See Technical Data for drying times;

  • Heavy wet coats must be avoided as this severely retards the drying;

  • Overpaint only when dry;

  • Clean all equipment immediately after use with water.


PRECAUTIONS

  • Do not coat functional parts such as springs, exhausts, drive shafts, engine, etc.;

  • Do not apply direct to new galvanised iron without pre-treatment;

  • Do not apply directly to bare metal, plastic, fibreglass or timber. Apply only to primed or previously painted surfaces. Ensure that the surface is clean, dry and dust free;

  • Application to cold surfaces under 10° Celsius is not recommended.


STORAGE

  • Store under cover, away from damp, rain, frost and direct sunlight;

  • Always replace the lid securely after use.


IMPORTANT

  • The ambient temperature must be between 10ºC and 35ºC and humidity between 10% and 85%;

  • Do not apply too early as the surface may still be damp - apply only when the surface is dry;

  • Do not apply in too hot weather, rather early morning and after lunch, the slower the product dries, the longer it lasts;

  • Excessive application thickness and/or rapid drying could lead to cracking;

  • Avoid applying under adverse weather conditions as this could result in poor product performance;

  • Excessively friable surfaces should be cleaned down prior to application;

  • Not recommended for over coating bitumen sealers.


SAFETY

  • Always keep out of reach of children and animals;

  • Do not take in orally - harmful if swallowed. Seek medical attention and do not induce vomiting;

  • If accidental contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice;

  • Ventilate the area to be painted, opening all doors and windows and using fans during application and drying;

  • Protect floors with cloth Drop Cloths, not plastic, which is far more slippery;

  • Make sure your ladder is in good shape. Set the legs on an even surface and lock the cross braces. Do not stand on the top of the ladder or on the utility shelf. If you are having difficulty reaching a spot, get down from the ladder and move it rather than leaning out;

  • Clean up carefully and thoroughly when you are done for the day.
