Timber and Timber Based Boards (including MDF)

• Treat knots with two thin coats of fresh knotting.

• Rub down the surface with a suitable grade of abrasive paper. Remove all dust.

All Metals

• Lightly abrade to a bright (not polished) surface – excluding galvanised surfaces.

• Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Allow to dry.
• When dry prime with one coat of Crown Trade Universal Metal Primer, then undercoat with one coat of Crown Trade Acrylic Primer Undercoat.

Galvanised Metal

• Bright galvanised surfaces should be pre-treated with a T Wash.
• Overall blackening of the surface will confirm satisfactory surface degreasing.
• When dry, prime with one coat of Crown Trade Universal Metal Primer.

Non Ferrous Metals

Previously Decorated Metal Surfaces

Application

Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results

• Stir well before and during use.
• Apply 2 coats by brush or roller to an even thickness (use good quality tools – synthetic brush or medium pile roller). For airless spray, dilution may be required. For further information, follow the spray manufacturer’s guidelines. Maintain a wet edge.
• To assist application on porous substrates, the surface may be dampened slightly.
• On timber, lay off in the direction of the grain.
• Avoid excessive de-nibbing in-between coats.
• Always intermix packs for colour consistency. Please check for colour accuracy prior to application. Crown Paints or Next Day Paint is not liable for decorating costs caused as a result of an incorrect colour being applied.

NOTE: Certain colours may require additional coats to give complete obliteration.

Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin
