Mix paint thoroughly before use. If the pigment has settled, pour off most of the liquid into a
clean container.
Thoroughly mix the pigment with the remaining liquid, taking care to scrape all the pigment
off the bottom of the can. Gradually add the poured-off liquid and mix thoroughly. Mixing
may be made easier by transferring contents to a larger container or by pouring the paint to
and from another container. Examine bottom of container for unmixed pigment. Screen
paint before applying.
Thin paint only if necessary, using only mineral spirits. For brush application under normal
conditions, no thinning should be necessary. For spray applications add up to one liter of
thinner per 8 liters of paint when necessary.
Apply by brush or spray to the specified film thickness or, if none is specified, to at least 38
microns dry or approximately 100 microns wet. The surface to be painted shall be dry; the
surface temperature shall be at least 3°C above the dew point, and the temperature of the
air shall be over 4°C. Do not paint outdoors in rainy weather or if freezing temperatures are
expected before the paint dries.
Allow paint at least 18 hours drying time in good weather before recoating.
