- Remove any flaking and peeling coatings
- Lightly sand existing coats for best adhesion, taking care with pre-1970's finishes as these may contain harmful amounts of lead
- Sand any exposed wood, paying particular to exterior wood to remove any weathered wood fibres
- Treat any active mould with a suitable fungicidal cleaner, such as Zinsser Mould Killer & Remover
- Spot prime any knots or sap streaks with Zinsser B-I-N Primer
- Degrease new galvanised metal with methylated spirit
- Thoroughly clean and degrease shiny or very hard substrates such as plastic
Always try a test area before starting any project to assess compatibility of the final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.
