Unpainted Metalwork (Including Galvanised)

Non-Ferrous Metals

Lightly abrade to a bright (not polished) finish (excluding galvanised surfaces). Rinse thoroughly, remove all residues, and allow to dry.

Ferrous Metals

Remove rust and millscale back to clean metal. Eliminate all residues and prime all bare areas within the same working day.

Previously Painted Surfaces

Remove loose, failing, or suspect paint. Feather edges of sound paint and eliminate all dust and rust. Spot prime bare metal with Crown Trade Universal Metal Primer.
