Preparation

Ensure surface to be painted is sound, clean, dry and free from grease. Remove all loose and defective paint. Rub down sound glossy surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper to provide a key. Avoid the inhalation of dust. Wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding. Treat any mould or lichen with sterilisation wash as directed. For maximum performance, old paint or varnish should be completely removed. Treat new or bare timber surfaces with clear preservative, prime metal surfaces with an appropriate primer. Follow with a coat of Leyland Truguard Flexible Exterior Undercoat then two coats of Leyland Truguard Flexible Exterior Gloss. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.

Application

Stir well before use. Apply paint evenly by brush or roller and avoid overspreading. The brush should be fully loaded for best results.

Cleaning

Remove as much product as possible from application equipment before cleaning. Clean equipment immediately after use with white spirit or turpentine substitute.
