Surface Preparation

Surface should be free of oil, grease, loose material and should be clean and dry. Before painting , surfaces should be primed with a high white primer to achieve best results. Not preparing and priming the surface, prior to painting will affect the benefit you would otherwise get with this product. We recommend Pirta Primer as it has been specially formulated to work with this formula and give you the best results.
