PRODUCT APPLICATION
Use when temperature is between 50 °F (10 °C) and 90 °F (32 °C) and humidity is below 85% to ensure proper drying.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with soap and water and let dry. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. To enhance adhesion, lightly sand glossy or porous surfaces. Remove any wax by lightly wiping the surface with mineral spirits.
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90 °F (10-32 °C) and humidity is below 85% to ensure proper drying. Stir thoroughly. Do not shake the can. Thinning is not required. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
Use a high quality synthetic brush. Roller application is not recommended. Avoid excessive brushing as this will reduce film thickness and protection. Wait for the base coat to dry for at least 8 hours before applying the Clear Protective Topcoat. Use light, even brush strokes to ensure even flow and the smoothest finish. Apply 1-2 even coats. Wait 2 hours between each coat.
