Technical Specifications

Application Process

1. Surface Preparation

For Metal Surfaces: Remove all dirt, rust, loose paint, and flakes using wire mesh or wire brush. Clean thoroughly to eliminate grease and contaminants. For ferrous metals, apply suitable anti-corrosive metal primer (such as Red Oxide Primer or Zinc Chromate Primer). For galvanized surfaces, use Galvanized Metal Primer. Allow primer to dry completely.

For Wood Surfaces: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, wax, and polish. Sand the surface smooth along the grain direction. Remove all sanding dust. For new wood, apply suitable wood primer and allow to dry completely.

For Masonry Surfaces: Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Apply suitable masonry primer for optimal adhesion.

Crack Treatment: Cover fine cracks with suitable putty. Large cracks may need cement work. Allow all repairs to dry and cure completely before painting.

2. Protection of Adjacent Areas

Cover floors, furniture, glass panels, and other surfaces with protective sheets or masking tape to prevent paint spillage and ensure clean edges.

3. Priming (Essential)

Apply appropriate primer based on substrate type. Proper priming is crucial for optimal adhesion, durability, and superior finish. Allow primer to dry completely (typically 6-8 hours) before proceeding with topcoat application.

4. Paint Mixing & Preparation

Stir the enamel thoroughly before use to ensure uniform consistency and even color distribution. Thin if necessary using mineral turpentine or white spirit (typically 10-15% for brush application, up to 20-25% for spray application). Strain the material through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps or skin formation.

5. Paint Application

Application Methods: Apply using high-quality natural bristle brush, foam roller, or spray equipment. For best gloss results, brush application is recommended.

Brush Application: Use smooth, even strokes. Work the enamel well into the surface but avoid over-brushing, which can reduce gloss. Lay off lightly in the direction of the grain (for wood) or length (for metal).

First Coat: Apply the first coat evenly with uniform coverage. Ensure proper wet film thickness for superior coverage and hiding power. Allow adequate drying time before applying the second coat.

6. Final Finishing

Apply the second coat uniformly to achieve optimum color depth and the characteristic superior mirror-like gloss finish. Ensure complete coverage without missed spots or streaks. The result should be a brilliant, reflective surface that showcases the paint’s exceptional gloss properties.

7. Drying & Curing

Allow adequate drying time between coats. For complete hardening and maximum durability, allow 48-72 hours before subjecting to heavy use or cleaning. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

8. Cleaning & Maintenance

Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with mineral turpentine or white spirit. Once fully cured, the painted surface can be cleaned with a soft cloth. The superior mirror-like gloss finish allows easy removal of dirt and maintains its brilliance with minimal maintenance.

9. Safety & Storage

Safety: Use in well-ventilated areas. Enamel paint contains solvents – avoid breathing vapors and ensure adequate air circulation. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. If contact occurs, wash immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Keep out of reach of children.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Avoid freezing temperatures. Dispose of empty containers and waste material responsibly according to local regulations.
