Refinishing Procedures

NOTE:
-
Use a flexible block to sand the surface evenly.

Do not remove too much material.
Deep groove/tear:
-
Level and finish burrs and other irregularities with #240 sandpaper. Keep the surface as even as possible.
2. Degreasing/Cleaning

Wear goggles or safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
-
Clean with wax and grease remover and dry with compressed air.

Wipe off all lint and other foreign particles from the surface with a tack cloth.

Stir thoroughly before applying the primer. Use a spray gun or brush depending on working conditions.

opening the paint container.

Avoid contact with skin. Wear an approved respirator, gloves, eye protection, and appropriate clothing when painting.

Paint is flammable. Store it in a safe place, and keep it away from sparks, flames, or cigarettes.
