For the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, dust or any other surface contaminants.
- Remove any flaking and old, unsound paint either by sanding or with the use of a paint scraper with a suitable paint stripper, special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960's paint surfaces as they may contain harmful levels of lead
- Any mould, fungal growth should be removed with a suitable fungicidal wash
- Remove any grey or denatured wood by sanding back to fresh, clean wood
- Any holes or surface imperfections should be filled with an appropriate filler, sanded smooth and all sanding dust removed with a slightly damp cloth
- For any knotty or resinous timber, apply a specialist primer such as Crown Trade PX3 All Purpose Primer or Crown Trade PX4 All Purpose Primer
- Any new, fresh timber with no previously mentioned defects still should be lightly sanded for adhesion
- Smooth substrates such as plastic or uPVC will need a light sanding to key
- On new bright galvanised surfaces, degrease the surface thoroughly and then pre-treat with a T-wash solution, followed by applying a suitable metal primer
- For all other new non-ferrous metal surfaces, lightly abrade the surface, rinse clean followed by a coating of Crown Trade Fastflow Quick Dry Primer Undercoat
- Ferrous metals need to be stripped back to their original state with the removal of all rust and millscale, then a single coat of a suitable metal primer must be applied within the same working day
- If the metal surface has been previously painted, remove any rust, feather the edges of the paint, the area washed clean, wet abrade the surface, rinse and allow to dry thoroughly

- Stir thoroughly before and during use, making sure to include pigment gathered in the top and bottom creases of the tin
