SURFACE PREPERATION
Previously Painted Surfaces: Scrape off
loose and flaking paint. Wash with Haymes
Uni-Kleen Sugar Soap, diluted as
recommended. Fill nail holes, cracks and
imperfections, sand smooth and dust down.
Sand gloss and semi gloss surfaces thoroughly
and wipe clean. Coat all bare timber and metal
areas with the appropriate primers and/or
undercoats. Apply one coat of Haymes Tricoat
to old enamel.
New Timber: Fill imperfections with Haymes
Unifill. Sand smooth and dust down. Apply one
coat of Haymes Wood Primer White, then one
coat of Haymes General Purpose Undercoat
allowing a minimum of 16 hours between
coats.
MDF: Sand rough edges and remove dust.
Apply one coat of Haymes Acrylic Sealer
Undercoat.
Masonry: Fill any imperfections with Haymes
Unifill, sand smooth and dust down. Apply one
coat of Haymes Acrylic Sealer Undercoat.
Bare Galvanised Iron: Degrease and apply
one coat of Haymes acrylic Galvansied Iron
Primer followed by one coat Haymes General
Purpose Undercoat. Leave 16 hours before
applying finishing coats.
Yellowing:
Solvent based enamel paints tend to yellow
with age. This is a well understood feature of
enamel paints. This yellowing can be
accelerated by the absence of UV light and the
presence of ammonia. The absence of light
effect is commonly seen inside wardrobes and
when cavity sliding doors are kept inside the
cavity. The most common source of ammonia
in this instance is from water based paints and
some cleaning chemicals. Yellowing can
be minimized by ensuring there is adequate
ventilation during the drying period of the
enamel paint and that waterbased paints have
dried thoroughly before enamels are used.

Chalking:
The curing process that results in the hardness
of enamel paints is susceptible to breakdown
when exposed to UV light. In exterior
applications enamels tend to lose gloss and
become powdery or chalky. When repainting
the chalk needs to be removed by sanding or
washing with a scourer prior to the application
of fresh paint. For a chalk resistant finish use
acrylic paints instead of enamel paints. While
gloss enamels will provide higher initial gloss,
acrylics will provide longer gloss retention,
longer life, and easier recoating (less
preparation needed).
FINISHING
Apply two even coats of Haymes Newlife High
Gloss Enamel by roller, brush or spray. Where
multiple coats are required, light sanding
between coats is recommended.
Clean equipment with Haymes Mineral
Turpentine immediately after use.
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Do not apply if the temperature is below 10°C.
While in hot weather, avoid painting in direct
sunlight.
STORAGE
Protect from extremes of temperature. Store
between 5°C and 30°C.
MAINTENANCE
Protect the coating against abrasive contact for
7 days. In dusty or high use areas, wash down
periodically with a mild detergent solution to
refresh and preserve the coating.
THINNING & CLEAN UP
Should be applied unthinned. If thinning is
required use approximately 50ml per litre of
Haymes Mineral Turpentine. For spray
application, use up to 100ml per litre (10%).

Safety Directions: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation
of vapours. Wear suitable protective clothing, eye protection and impervious gloves when mixing
and using. Handling and usage of this product must be carried out under well-ventilated conditions
that prevent inhalation of vapours.
First Aid Directions: If affected by inhalation, remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulties persists
or occurs later, consult a doctor. If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING, drink plenty of water
and seek immediate medical advice. Contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone 13 11
26) if skin contact occurs; remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and
water. If irritation occurs seek prompt medical advice. In case of eye contact, hold eyes open and
flush with running water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice. Further information is
available in the form of Material Safety Data and Product Information Sheets from your local
Haymes Paint Distributor or Free call Haymes Paint on 1800 033 431.
Protect Our Environment: DO NOT pour left over product down the drain. Retain it in a marked
sealed container for future use or disposal via chemical waste collection programs. Dried empty
containers can be recycled and should be disposed of via council recycling facilities. Do not re-use
empty containers.
For best results, preparation is vitally important. When repainting always ensure that the adhesion of
old paint is sound before proceeding. Exterior enamels have a tendency to chalk over a period of time.
Oil based enamels yellow with age, particularly in the absence of natural light. Rapid yellowing is
possible in poorly ventilated areas if ammonia (from household chemicals and water based paints) is
present.
