Surface Preparation

Apply only on a clean and dry surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid condensation. In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

Steel (Blast Cleaned):

• Blast clean to ISO 8501-1 SA 2.5 with a blast profile of maximum 40 µm Rz

Steel / Cast Iron:

• Machine sand with P80-120 discs and degrease

Galvanised Steel and Phosphated Steel:

• Abrade with SCOTCHBRITE® and degrease

Aluminium / Light Alloys:

• Machine sand with P240-320 discs and degrease

GRP:

• Machine sand with P240 discs and degrease

Mixing

• Thoroughly mix paint before activating and check colour before use
• The speed of drying can be increased with use of 1-490 Thinner, or 6-550 Accelerator (added at 1-2%) but these can reduce the final gloss and shorten the pot life
• Use of 1-490 Thinner AND 6-550 together is not recommended
• Use of 1-490 Thinner or 6-550 when applied directly to aluminium is not advised

Mixing Ratio:
