Preparation

PAINTED SURFACES

• In Good Condition: Wash down with a suitable detergent, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Sand with 220-­280 (grit) paper. Clean thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
• In Poor Condition: Remove all previous coatings.

BARE WOOD: Sand smooth with 80­-180 grade paper and then 280 grade paper. Remove sanding dust by brushing,
dusting and wiping. If wiping with solvent then allow to dry completely before applying primer.

STEEL: Degrease with solvent or Super Cleaner. Gritblast to Sa 2½ ­ near white metal surface. If gritblasting is not possible, grind the metal surface with 24­36 grit abrasive discs to a uniform, clean, bright well roughened metal surface 50-­75­microns anchor pattern. Use angle grinder on small areas. Clean thoroughly and allow to dry completely.

ALUMINIUM: Degrease with solvent or Super Cleaner. Sand well using 24-­120 grade (aluminium compatible) paper. Coarser grades are recommended to achieve optimum adhesion. Clean thoroughly and allow to dry completely.

ZINC/GALVANISED STEEL: Degrease with solvent or Super Cleaner. Sand well using 60­-120 grade paper. Clean thoroughly and allow to dry completely.

GRP: Degrease with solvent or Super Cleaner. Sand well using 180-­220 grade paper. Clean thoroughly and allow to dry completely.

Method

Apply 3 coats (unthinned) to Steel & Aluminium. For GRP, apply 2 coats (unthinned). Apply 4 coats (unthinned) to Wood. Application of an additional coat for all substrates will result in increased level of substrate protection. Depending on the type of roller used, additional coat may be required to achieve the recommended total film thickness e.g. for aluminium 300-­400 microns WFT (144­192 microns DFT) is required. If excessive sanding practice is used, then additional coat will be required to ensure substrate protection & achieve full opacity. To give extra depth of colour, blend the final coat of One UP 50:50 with an approved International Paint topcoat

Hints

• Mixing: Stir well before use.
• Thinning: Thinning is not usually required. Depending upon ambient temperature, application conditions and personal preferences, One UP can be thinned up to 10%. If product is thinned, additional coat may be required to achieve film thickness required to protect the substrate.
• Thinner: Thinner No.1 (YTA800)
• Cleaner: Thinner No.1 (YTA800)
• Brush: Solvent resistant standard brush.
• Roller: 4mm nap velour roller or solvent resistant foam roller
  Note: If foam rollers are used a lower film build/opacity may be achieved and additional coat may be required.
• Ventilation and Humidity Control: Apply in dry, well ventilated conditions.
