SURFACE PREPARATION
1) Drywall (Interior and Exterior)
Must be clean and dry. All nail heads must be set and spackled. Joints must be taped and covered
with a joint compound. Spackled nail heads and tape joints must be sanded smooth and all dust
removed prior to painting. Exterior surfaces must be spackled with exterior grade compounds.
2) Previously Coated Surfaces
Maintenance painting will frequently not permit or require complete removal of all old coatings prior to
repainting. However, all surface contamination such as oil, grease, loose paint, mill scale, dirt, foreign
matter, rust, mold, mildew, mortar, efflorescence, and sealers must be removed to assure sound
bonding to the tightly adhering old paint. Glossy surfaces of old paint films must be clean and dull
before repainting. Thorough washing with an abrasive cleanser will clean and dull in one operation, or,
wash thoroughly and dull by sanding. Spot prime any bare areas with an appropriate primer.
Recognize that any surface preparation short of total removal of the old coating may compromise the
service length of the system. Check for compatibility by applying a test patch of the recommended
coating system, covering at least 2 to 3 square feet. Allow to dry one week before testing adhesion
per ASTM D3359. If the coating system is incompatible, complete removal is required.
