SURFACE PREPARATION

WOOD

• Surface to be painted should be clean, dry, free from dust, dirt and other foreign matter.
• Hammer all nails deep enough prior to application.
• Sand rough wood until smooth, then dust off.
• If repainting, first remove all blistering, peeling and scaling paint by wire brushing or using thinner. Clean thoroughly prior to painting.

METAL

• Wipe the surface with rag soaked in paint thinner to remove dust, dirt, grease, oil, wax and other foreign matter that may contaminate the paint.
• If repainting, wire brush or scrape rusted metals. Let it stay for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to wash off surface thoroughly with water, let it dry before applying paint.

APPLICATION

• Stir the material thoroughly before use.
• Prior to applying Brien Quick Dry Enamel, all detailing work must be completed on seams, splits, protrusions, fixings, drains, flashings, fasteners, etc.
• Material should be applied at least three (3) coats by using brush, roller or airless spray. Decreasing the number of coats will reduce the paint performance.
• The product will be tough dry in approximately 40 minutes and may be overcoated after two hours drying under normal conditions.

Painting Schedule: Metal

• NOTE:
• Not recommended to thin if not necessary. Excessive addition of paint thinner may affect paint performance such as appearance and adhesion.
