Painting Instructions

PREPARATION

For new wood: Ensure the wood is dry and in good condition. Smooth and round off edges. Apply one coat of Sandtex Trade Flexible Primer Undercoat. If the wood is grey or denatured, sand it back to a clean, smooth surface. For new metal: Ensure the metal is clean, dry, and free from any residues. Apply one coat of Sandtex Trade Rust Inhibiting Primer. Allow it to dry and apply one coat of Sandtex Trade Flexible Primer Undercoat. For galvanized steel, refer to the manufacturer's guidelines. For previously painted surfaces: All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from anything that may hinder adhesion. Wash with warm detergent solution, rinse well with clean water, and allow to dry. Abrade with wet and dry abrasive paper to remove any surface contamination and provide a suitable base. Take precautions to avoid inhaling dust and wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding. Apply one coat of Sandtex Trade Flexible Primer Undercoat. For metal surfaces only, spot prime where necessary with Sandtex Trade Rust Inhibiting Primer before applying the undercoat. For further advice, contact the manufacturer.

APPLICATION

Thoroughly stir the paint before use. Always intermix packs for color consistency. Apply evenly and generously with a brush or roller, avoiding overspreading. On the prepared surface, apply one or two coats of Sandtex Trade Eggshell X-Tra as needed. Some strong colors may require an additional coat to ensure complete coverage. If redecorating with the same color, Sandtex Trade Flexible Primer Undercoat is not necessary. Do not apply if there is a risk of rain or if the air/surface temperature is likely to fall below 8°C or when the relative humidity is above 80% during the application or drying period.
