Application Guide

Two coats of paint are recommended for the best longest lasting finish.

If brushing thinning is not usually required but if you preferred to thin the product 10%

Remember good preparation is paramount to an excellent long lasting finish.

Painting Guide Step By Step

1. Abraid 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.
2. The area must be clean and free from dirt, dust, oil, grease, old flaking paint and be dry & clear of any other contaminants. Good preparation is key to a good finish.
3. Before you start, have your ppe ready as our paint is oil based so will not wash off easily with soap and water.
4. Stir the paint well before use, with a paddle on a slow running drill or substantial stick.
5. Thin the first coat by 10 percent with T0001 if painting wooden surfaces, to assist good absorption.
6. 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.
7. Cut in around the edges and hard to reach areas first with brush, if brushing and rolling is your application method.
8. Depending on what you're painting, apply a second coat 2-12 hours or an 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 -

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.

Other Application Advice

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.

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.
