Before you begin.
Use this guide to plan the work. Your chosen product’s instructions take priority for preparation, application, drying and curing.

Follow the coating manufacturer’s prescribed testing and limits. Do not choose a coating solely from its colour or sheen.
Plan repairs
Choose repair products compatible with the coating system and the type of defect.
Create the required profile
Select the specified preparation method and surface profile. Grinding or shot blasting may require specialist equipment and a professional operator.
Remove residue
Clean the prepared surface according to the system instructions and confirm it is ready for priming.
Plan the full system
Confirm primer, base coat, finish coat and any additives. Review working time, recoat conditions and when the area can return to service.
