Application Guide
- Before you start, have your PPE ready as our paint is oil based so will not wash off easily with soap and water.
- Abrade area prior to painting to remove old flaking paint and imperfections, abrasion will also assist the paint bonding and provide a good key to unpainted substrates.
- The area must be dry and clean free from dirt, dust, oil, grease, old flaking paint and of any other contaminants. Good preparation is key to a good finish.
- Stir the paint well before use, with a paddle on a slow running drill or substantial stick.
- Before putting paint down ensure you have good ventilation to allow vapor to escape, ventilation is also necessary to keep the drying times, if there is no air movement the coating cannot dry as well.
- Cut in around the edges and hard to reach areas first with brush, if brushing and rolling is your application method.
Application - Painting over existing paint
Step 1 - Check suitability of the product to the existing paint. We recommend you try a sample area first.
Step 2 Clean and Abrade -
- Make sure the existing paint is in good condition prior to painting, then lightly abrade to provide a key for good intercoat adhesion.
- If there is flaking paint this must be removed prior to painting.
- For any parts that has rusted you will need to sand the rust back to the bare metal and spot prime with the appropriate primer.
- Ensure substrate is dry and clean of any dirt, oil, or grease.
Step 3 Prime – This step is down to personal preference, depending on the condition of the existing paint or if you are changing a dark colour to a light you may want to add one coat of primer/undercoat.
Step 4 Topcoat- Once you have completed the following steps you can apply your top coat. Cut in edges and hard to reach areas first with a brush. Then 12-24 later apply the second coat.
Application - Painting a bare substrate
Step 1 Clean - Ensure substrate is dry and clean of any dirt, oil, or grease.
Step 2 Prime – Depending on the material you are painting will determine what primer you will need.
Step 3 Topcoat – 12-24 hours after applying the primer you can add your first coat of topcoat. Wait another 12-24 hours and then apply the second coat.

Other Application Advice
Always stir any paint well prior to using, as our coatings are heavily pigmented separation can easily occur and you can have colour float, for example a green paint can seem blue before mixing, this is one of the reasons mixing your paint before use is essential.
Make sure you use a broom stick, mixer on a slow running drill or pallet knife to mix and mixing should take place for 3-5 mins to ensure all the content is properly mixed together to avoid colour and or drying problems.
Spray Application Advice
If applying with a pot gun
If applying with a pot gun
Use a 1:2 to 1:4 tip set up thinning by 10% if required.
More thinners may be added to achieve good atomization to achieve better flow of the paint giving a better finish.
If applying with an airassisted or airassisted airless system
Use a 11-13 thou tip no thinners usually required.
If thinning is necessary use around 10%
Set air and paint pressures until good atomization is achieved and fingering (lines in the spray) have blended in.
