Surface Preparation

New Surfaces

Wood: Sand to a smooth finish, seal knots and prime with Top Paints’ Pink Wood Primer.

Galvanized Steel: Clean with Top Paints' Degreaser and rinse thoroughly until a water-break-free film is achieved. Sand or use scouring pads to remove all rust. Use Top Paints’ Water-based Zinc Phosphate Primer to prime the entire surface.

Mild Steel: Clean with Top Paints’ Degreaser and rinse thoroughly until a water-break-free film is achieved. Prime with either Top Paints’ Industrial QD Red Oxide Primer or Etch Primer.

Previously Painted Surfaces

Old paint in sound condition: Remove any flaking and loose paint, clean and prime with the appropriate primer (as per the information given above). Top Paints’ Bonding Liquid can be used on very powdery surfaces. Sand the surface down and remove dust before applying a coat of Top Paints’ Fillercoat. Fillercoat must be left to dry for at least 4 hours.

Old paint in poor condition: Completely strip the surface and treat it as new work.
