Surface generally must be clean, free from rust, oil, grease, dust and other contaminants and must be thoroughly dried before application. Steel surface shall be manually wire brush or power tool cleaning to remove all rust or loose millscale as to comply with minimum Swedish Standard ST 3, then primed with appropriate anti-corrosion primer follow by undercoat before application of topcoat.

Previously Painted Ferrous Metal
Previously painted surface should be thoroughly rubbed down using a suitable abrasive paper and then dusted off. Any loose and flaking paint film must be scraped off, rust should be thoroughly removed (for optimum performance, wire brush or power tool cleaning to a minimum Swedish Standard ST 3 is highly recommended).
