APPLICATION BULLETIN 1.30
APPLICATION PROCEDURES PERFORMANCE TIPS
Surface preparation must be completed as indicated. Stripe coat all crevices, welds, and sharp angles to prevent early
failure in these areas.
Mixing Instructions: Mix paint thoroughly to a uniform consistency
with low speed power agitation prior to use. When using spray application, use a 50% overlap with each pass
of the gun to avoid holidays, bare areas, and pinholes. If necessary,
Apply paint at the recommended film thickness and spreading cross spray at a right angle
rate as indicated below:
Spreading rates are calculated on volume solids and do not include
