Areas to use
Precautions and limitations
For best results, avoid spraying in low temperatures (less than 15°C) or high humidity.
Previously Painted Surfaces
The surface must be clean and dry, free from grease, rust and dirt. Sand surfaces with 180–240 grit sandpaper and remove any dust residue. Clean with wax and grease remover.
Airless/Conventional Spray
Before spraying: Shake can for at least 2 minutes or until the mixing ball rattles inside the can. For best results, avoid spraying in low temperatures (less than 15°C) or high humidity.
Application: Hold the can upright approximately 20–25cm from the surface. To ensure compatibility, test spray on an inconspicuous area. Use smooth, even strokes parallel to the surface. Apply several light mist coats rather than 1 heavy coat to avoid runs and sags. Allow 5 minutes flash off between coats. Can be recoated after 45 minutes.
After spraying: Prevent nozzle blocking by turning the can upside down and spraying until clear gas emerges. Wipe the front of nozzle clean. Clean up any overspray while it is still wet using general purpose thinner.
Recoating: When a second coat of Dulux® AutoShield™ Etch Primer is required, re-coat after 45 minutes
