When applying paint, preparation is always key, ensure the surface is clean, dry, sound, and free from any contaminates that will affect adhesion.

• Always ensure to remove any excessive materials such as chalk, grease, grime, oil, wax, mildew, adhesive, or anything that may interfere with adhesion. If unsure wash the surface well with an appropriate cleaning solution or solvent and rinse thoroughly.
• Always ensure to remove any loose or peeling material and sand any paint film edges smooth.
