Surface preparation for painted surface:
Existing substrates must be cleaned to remove all dirt, mildew and other contaminants. This is accomplished by
pressure-cleaning equipment with a minimum capability of 100-140 bar water pressure. All grease, oils and asphalt
materials must be removed completely.

In repainting Dr. Fixit Primeseal can be eliminated based on existing paint condition.
Repainting:
It is very important to assess the condition of existing paint film before proceeding for repainting with Dr. Fixit
Raincoat Classic system. The performance of Raincoat Classic system will depend upon the condition of the
existing paint. If the existing paint film is flaking or has a weak bonding with the substrate then the subsequent
coat of Raincoat classic will face the adhesion problem.
For a repainting work if the surface is in sound condition then Primeseal is not required and the same covering
rates of Dr Fixit Raincoat Universal Base Coat and Dr. Fixit Raincoat Classic to be maintained.
