See the product manufacturer's instructions for the type of thinner and the quantity, in %, to be added (this may
vary from 5% to 50%).
Preparing the Object or Surface to be Treated
To obtain good results, the objects or surfaces to be treated MUST BE CLEANED.
•
Remove any traces of rust or scaling from the old paint and, if necessary, rub it using sandpaper.
•
Stucco or rub with sandpaper, where necessary, to make the surfaces smooth.
•
Carefully read the instructions indicated on the paint can. Manufacturers usually suggest to apply a fixative
before painting to obtain the best results and, above all, to save paint.
Preparing the Product for Painting
•
Shake well.
•
Use a stick to mix and stir the product.
•
Pour paint inside the spray gun reservoir (#92), without filling it to the top (maximum ¾).
•
Thin the product, following the manufacturer's instructions.
•
If necessary, GRADUALLY ADD THINNER AFTER MAKING TESTS ON A PIECE OF CARDBOARD OR
WOOD. After checking that the product has been correctly thinned, the entire can of paint can be thinned.
