Surface Preparation:

For Metal Surfaces:

1. 1. Remove dust, dirt, grease, oil, wax and other foreign matter using a rag soaked in paint thinner.
   2. For repainting, use a mechanical grinder or A-Plus Supertanggal® Paint Remover to strip off old paint film to bare substrate then remove oil and grease by solvent cleaning followed by scuff sanding. To remove rust, wire brush or strip affected areas after treating with A-Plus® Rust Converter. Let it sit for 10 – 15 minutes before washing off surface thoroughly with water, letting it dry before applying paint. Primer should be applied immediately upon drying of the surface before rust sets in.

For Concrete Surfaces:

1. 1. Ensure proper surface preparation by removing any oil and dirt by detergent cleaning.
   2. Roughen surface by scuff sanding to enhance paint grip and adhesion. If necessary, use mechanical tools such as a planetary grinder for uneven surfaces.
   3. Rinse the concrete thoroughly with water to wash away residues that could affect paint adhesion. Allow ample time for the concrete surface to dry.
   4. To repair large concrete surface imperfections, use either of the following:

– A-Plus Procrete® Low Viscosity Construction Epoxy – used for patching medium-sized concrete imperfections covering a large area.

– A-Plus Procrete® High Viscosity Construction Epoxy – used for patching larger-sized concrete imperfections covering smaller areas.
