    Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results

    • Stir thoroughly before use to ensure the paint is completely mixed.
    • Stormshield Aqua Guard Exterior Primer Undercoat can be applied by brush, roller or sprayer. For best results use a synthetic brush. Avoid overspreading
    • 2 coats are recommended on highly resinous surfaces.
    • Sprayer application: HVLP application: 1.8-2.0mm tip size. Spray pressure: 0,3-0,4 MPa (= approx. 3-4 bar). Can be diluted 5-10% Airless spray application: 0.008"-0.010". 2000–2500psi. Undiluted. Must use Ultra Finish tips.
    • Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

    • Additional coats may be required with certain colours, or attempting a wide colour change.

    Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin
