PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Non-ferrous surfaces: Lightly abrade to a bright surface. No need to etch or pre prime galvanised steel. Allow new galvanised steel to be weathered for two months before painting with Everest Trade Paints Metal Primer.
Ferrous surfaces: On mild steel remove as much rust as possible (preferably cleaning to Swedish standard SA2½) apply a first coat of Everest Trade Paints Metal Primer as shop primer, within two hours of cleaning

SPREADING RATE (Coverage)
Approximately 8 - 12 square metres per litre per coat when applied by brush or roller depending on the texture and porosity of the substrate.
Spraying will considerably reduce the coverage rate depending on the type of spray equipment used. Airless spray systems for example coverage will be reduced to approximately 6-8sq meters/litre per coat. When using a tip size of 13-15 thou @ 50-70°angle and a pump pressure of 2500 P.S.I.
DRYING TIME
Touch Dry: 2-4 hours at 18°C
Overcoatable: 4 hours at 18°C
Fully hardened after one month. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
APPLICATION
Brush, Roller, or Spray.
Apply by brush, roller, conventional H.V.L.P or airless spray. Stir well and check colour before use. Do not apply at air or surface temperatures below 8°C or when likely to rain before the paint has fully dried.
On ferrous surfaces some flash rusting may occur, especially if below the dew point. This is expected and will not affect the anti-corrosive properties of the product. In most cases only one coat is required but occasionally a second coat may be required to ensure maximum durability and build.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Store away from heat and naked flames. Secure lid between uses to prevent paint hardening.
CLEANER / THINNERS
Clean up with warm soapy water.
Remove as much product as possible prior to cleaning.
BATCH INFORMATION
We recommend ordering all the paint required in one order so you receive the same batch, ordering on different dates will result in receiving different batches which may result in a shade difference.
This is fine if you are planning on using the different batches on different coats, However, it's not recommended to use on the same coat.
