Expert Tips for Application

To get professional results, follow these essential tips:

• Preparation: Remove old paint, rust, and grease. For heavily oxidised surfaces, use a paint over rust product or rust converter.
  
• Priming: Use primers when required, especially on bare or shiny metals.
  
• Tools: Apply using a brush, roller, or spray, depending on the finish desired.
  
• Curing: Allow the paint to dry thoroughly between coats, especially when using epoxy or enamel systems.
