Incomplete or insufficient surface preparation of an item to be painted

is the single greatest cause of paint failures. All surfaces should be

sound, clean and dry before painting. However, always refer to the in-

structions on the can for each particular product. Some products may

call for special preparation of specific surfaces. Follow the guidelines

listed below to achieve professional results each time.

1. Clean the surface from any dirt, grease or chemicals.A clean surface ensures that no oils or chemicals are present that may

interfere with the adhesion of the paint. The surface can be cleaned

with soap and water, a household cleaner or with a solution of TSP

(trisodium phosphate).

Do not use solvents to clean surfaces. Solvents tend to smear grease

and oil and not completely remove residue from the surface. Strong

solvents can also soften a previous finish and make the new paint

application susceptible to wrinkling.

2. Remove any loose rust, chipping or peeling paint.This is important to provide a smooth surface to apply the primer and

base coat. Painting over loose rust will result in poor adhesion and an

uneven finish.

Loose rust or paint can be removed by sanding or scraping the

surface. A wire brush, sandpaper, steel wool or a scraper will aid in

this removal. Read label cautions on sanding old paint which may

contain lead.

Glossy surfaces should be lightly sanded to promote good adhesion.

3. Rinse and let dry.The surface should be completely dry before applying a primer or top coat.

4. Apply a primer.Priming is recommended to increase the adhesion of the top coat to

the surface. It also provides a thicker film buildup for increased dura-

bility and a flatter smoother surface for top coat application.

Priming is suggested on:

Bare Metal: A primer increases the smooth adhesion of the top coat.

Priming also adds to

the rust-inhibitive function of the coating.

Rusty Metal: Priming can cover existing sound rust and prevent the

spread of new rust. A prime coat also helps to smooth the surface for

the topcoat.

Galvanized Metal: Any surfaces plated with zinc require a special

latex primer. New galvanized surfaces typically have a light coating of

oil used by the manufacturer to protect the steel before painting. The

oil must be washed off before applying paint.

BareWood: Bare wood is a porous substrate that holds air and mois-

ture. A prime coat is suggested to ensure a smooth, uniform top coat

covering. It will also prevent any bleeding from the wood. Sanding off

weathered wood is necessary and rotten or water-damaged wood must

be replaced before painting.

Concrete:Water-damaged concrete has a sandy or gritty surface that

comes off easily when rubbed. Sanding or acid etching may be neces-

sary to remove this loose material. Any water or moisture penetrating

the concrete from behind/underneath the painted surface must be

stopped or peeling will occur.

Color Change: For projects changing from a dark coat to a light coat,

priming will facilitate the coverage of the old color. It will also help

prevent bleeding of the old color through the new topcoat.

5. Apply a top coat.Aerosol Application: Aerosol paints should be applied outdoors or in

a well-ventilated area. Spray painting will give you a very smooth,

factory-like finish. The key is to to apply smooth, even applications.

For best overall coverage, move the can in a back and forth motion,

while keeping the can parallel to the surface of your object.

Brush Application: Brush application is suggested if painting indoors.

Apply with a high-quality brush or roller. For best control, hold the

brush at the base of the handle, closest to the bristles.

6. Recoat.Apply a second coat of paint if necessary. Follow recoat directions on

can. Each product dries at a different rate. If sanding between coats,

allow the full recoat time to dry before applying another coat (at

recommended drying temperature).

pigment or resin.

Chip Resistance – Measure of a paint’s ability to

resist chipping.

Chipping – The breaking away of small portion of

the paint film due to its inability to flex under impact

properties of the paint such as coverage, color,

gloss, and corrosion resistance.

Polymer – Substance, the molecules of which consist

of one or more smaller structural molecules repeated

any number of times; vinyl resins are examples of

true polymers.

Polystyrene Resin – Synthetic resins formed by

polymerization of styrene.

Porous – A surface that contains small pores or

holes and will readily absorb gases or liquids.

Primer – A first coat of paint applied to inhibit

corrosion or improve adhesion of the next coat.

Recoat Time – The time required for a film to dry

prior to the application of a second coat.

Relative Humidity – The ratio (%) of the amount of

moisture in the air compared to what it could hold if

saturated at the temperature involved.

Resin – The ingredient in paint which binds the

pigments and additives into a solid film. Responsible

for many of the physical properties in paint, such as

flexibility and resistance to moisture, chemicals,

abrasions and corrosion.

Respirator – Mask worn to protect from fumes and

dust. Self-contained breathing apparatus.

Rust – A corrosion product consisting primarily of

hydrated iron oxide. Occurs when water, air and

metal are combined.

Satin – Gloss lying between semi-gloss and flat.

Semi-gloss Finish – A finish that has a low luster

sheen.

Silicone Resin – A resin used alone, or in

combination with alkyd or hydrocarbon resins to

increase resistance to heat.

Solvent – Liquid used to dissolve or disperse

other paint ingredients. It also control the

viscosity (thickness) of the coating.

Solvent Acrylics – Made by chemically combining

various acrylic monomers either alone or in

combination. They are known for drying quickly

and can be recoated at any time.

Styrenated Plastics – Plastics made with styrene

monomers.

Substrate – Any surface to which a coating

is applied.

Synthetic Resin – Complex, substantial, amorphous

organic semisolid or solid materials built up by

chemical reactions of simple molecules.

Titanium Dioxide – White pigment in virtually all

white paints. Prime hiding pigment in most paints.

Tint – A color produced by mixing a colored material,

dye, or pigment with white pigment or paint.

Toluene – A solvent used to thin lacquers and enamels.

Top Coat – Usually the final paint film applied to a

surface.

Transparent – A coating which light can penetrate,

allowing visibility of the surface underneath.

Turpentine – Distilled pine oil, used as a cleaner,

solvent, or thinner for oil-based and alkyd coatings

(thin per manufacturers directions).

UV Inhibitor – Coating additives that absorb or

reflect UV radiation and prevent it from damaging

the substrate under the coating.

Viscosity – Paint “thickness;” the property of a fluid

whereby it tends to resist relative motion within itself.

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) – Organic

chemicals and petrochemicals that are emitted as

vapors while evaporating. In paints, VOC generally

refers to the solvent portion of the paint which, when

it evaporates, results in the formation of paint film on

the substrate to which it was applied.

Vinyls – Thermal plastic resins known for outstanding

flexibility. They provide excellent adhesion to vinyl

and other plastics.

Water-based – Coatings in which the majority of the

liquid solvent is water.

Wrinkling – A paint defect in which the films surface

skins over and then absorbs liquid within the film.

The absorption results in swelling of the surface skin

with the formation of a wrinkled texture.

Xylol (Xylene) – A colorless, oily, liquid aromatic

hydrocarbon, used extensively as a solvent, obtained

from coal tar, wood tar, and sometimes from petroleum.

Yellowing – Development of yellow color upon

aging or curing.
