PREPARATION:
- Clean/degrease the surface, pressure wash if needed, ensuring that all debris and loose material is removed from the area of application. Dry the entire surface thoroughly.
- If any rust is present, remove it, then apply a rust preventative before priming.
- Sand the surface area with 180 grit sandpaper.
- For flexible plastics (TPO, EDPM & PP), you can use 180-320 grit.
- Clean/degrease the area again to remove any particulates from sanding.
- Prime the area according to the surface material type:
- Bare Metal/Aluminum: Apply a DTM primer.
- Galvanized: Apply a self-etching primer.
- Rigid Plastic/Fiberglass: No primer or adhesion promoter needed.
- Flexible Plastic: Apply a layer of adhesion promoter.
- Wood: No primer needed, wood must be fully dry with no stains.
- OEM Coats: No primer needed.
- Scuff sand the primed area with 180 grit, and clear the area of any debris produced from the scuff sand.
