Application
Before starting, have your PPE ready, as our paint is oil-based and will not wash off easily with soap and water.
Ensure you have good ventilation to allow vapour to escape; ventilation is also necessary to maintain drying times. Without air movement, the coating won’t dry properly.
Be sure to stir the paint well before use.
Painting Bare Metal:
Step 1 - Prep: Ensure the substrate is completely dry and free of any dirt, oil, or grease by using a degreaser.
Step 2 - Prime: Apply one coat of this primer.
Step 3 - Topcoat: Once the previous steps are complete, apply your first coat of top coat within 12-24 hours. Wait another 12-24 hours before applying the second coat.
Painting Over Existing Paint:
Step 1 - Preparation: Check the suitability of the product for the existing paint. We recommend trying a sample area first.
Step 2 - Clean and Abrade:
- Ensure 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, it must be removed before painting.
- Ensure the substrate is dry and clean of any dirt, oil or grease.
Step 3 - Prime: Apply one coat of this primer.
Step 4 - Topcoat: Once you have completed the previous steps, 12-24 hours after applying the primer, you can add your first coat of topcoat. Wait another 12-24 hours before applying the second coat.
Primers
Fibreglass: If the fibreglass is bare, you will need a fibreglass primer. Use a two-pack epoxy fibreglass primer or single-pack fibreglass primer.
Wood, Concrete, Stone or Brick: No primer needed, we recommend thinning the first coat of top coat by 20% with T0001 White Spirit Thinners to ensure the paint impregnates the substrate.
Galvanised Steel: After treating the galvanised steel with Mordant Solution (T-Wash), you will can use this primer.
Etch Primer: Use one pack etch primer.
Aluminium: The suitable primer for aluminium is two-pack etch primer.
Mixing
Always stir any paint well before use, as our coatings are heavily pigmented and separation can easily occur. You may experience colour float; for example, a green paint can appear blue before mixing. This is one of the reasons why mixing your paint before use is essential.
- Use a mixer on a slow-running drill or a palette knife on smaller cans to mix the paint. An egg whisk, screwdriver, or small stick that doesn’t reach the bottom of the can is insufficient for proper mixing.
- Mixing should take place for 3-5 minutes.
- If you are adding thinners; they will need to be added once stirred.

Spraying
Ensure you have the correct RPE, to protect against atomised particles that are being generated when spraying.
If applying with a pot gun:
Use a 1:2 to 1:4 tip setup and thin by 10% if required. More thinners may be added to achieve good atomisation and improve the flow of the paint, resulting in a better finish.
Air-assisted or Airless system:
Use an 11-13 thou tip (no thinners are usually required). If thinning is necessary, use around 10%. Set air and paint pressures until good atomisation is achieved and fingering (lines in the spray) have blended in.
