How to apply

PREPARATION AND DIRECTIONS

GENERAL

Fill surface defects with suitable filler or sealant. Surface must be clean, dry and free from all dirt, dust, grease, oil, rust and any other surface contamination.

PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES

Remove loose and flaking paint and sand surface thoroughly. On aged enamel use PPG 3 in 1 for inter-coat adhesion. Treat bare areas as for new work.

NEW WORK/UNPAINTED SURFACES

Timber: Sand weathered (greyed) timber to the original timber surface. Tannin rich timbers should be primed with PPG 3 in 1.

Galvanised Iron: Degrease new surfaces, thoroughly clean weathered surfaces to ensure adhesion. For structural galvanised iron, abrade with 240# paper to remove chemical treatments. If red rust is present, treat as for steel.

Cement Render/Concrete: Allow concrete, cement render and mortar to cure for 28 days before painting.

Steel: Remove rust and prime with White Knight Rust Guard Metal Primer.

BEFORE PAINTING

Confirm colour before use. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid painting in direct sun or windy conditions. Dampen highly absorbent surfaces. Disconnect drinking water pipes before painting roofs, reconnect after first rain.

APPLICATION

Apply using a brush, roller or spray. Use two generous coats and three on unpainted surfaces.

• Stir paint in a circular lifting motion for 5 minutes with a wide flat stirrer

• Drying time: 30 minutes (touch dry)

• Recoat: 2 hours at 25°C (allow 4 hours in cool or humid areas)

• Do not paint at temperatures below 10°C or above 35°C, or if rain is imminent

COVERAGE

Up to 16 square metres per litre. Coverage will be lower on rough or absorbent surfaces.

DURING PAINTING

Keep brushes and rollers working freely by rinsing periodically in water. Protect paving and decks etc. from spills. Keep lid on container when not in use.
