Application Guide

upvc paint

Easy to apply by brush, roller and suitable spray applications.

Two coats of paint are recommended for the best longest lasting finish, If painting concrete, thinning the first coat by 10%-20% with the specified thinners, to allow better absorption and provide a better key for the finishing coating of paint.

Brushes and rollers will need to be solvent resistant.

Painting Step By Step

  1. The area must be clean and free from dirt, dust, oil, grease and be dry & clear of any other contaminants. Good preparation is key to a good finish.
  2. Before you start, have your ppe ready as our paint is solvent based and will not wash off easily with soap and water.
  3. Stir the paint and catalyst together well (4-1 mixing ratio) before use with a paddle on a slow running drill or substantial stick, improper mixing will cause the paint to stay tacky or wet and not dry.
  4. Thin the first coat by 10 percent, to assist good priming and sealing. If spray application is to be used thin to suit.
  5. Before putting paint down ensure you have good ventilation to allow solvent vapor to escape, ventilation is also necessary to keep the drying times, if there is no air movement the coating cannot dry as well.
  6. Cut in around the edges first (with a 2 to 3 inch brush if brush and roller application is being used)
  7. Apply a second coat or top coat 12-24 hours (overnight dry) after the first coat to build good colour and protection.

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 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.

Step 4 Topcoat- Once you have completed the following steps you can apply your top coat.

 

Application - Painting a bare substrate

Step 1 Clean - Ensure substrate is 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.

General Information

Always stir any paint well prior to using, especially if using Two Pack products.

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.

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.

Remember do not apply Two Pack Epoxy Paint in temperatures below 10 degrees centigrade cross linking of the paint and catalyst will not take place and the coating will never fully dry.
