SURFACE PREPARATION
Previously Painted Surfaces:
Scrape off all loose and flaking paint and make
sure any remaining paint is firmly attached to the
surface, sand scraped edges smooth. Sand all
gloss and semi gloss finishes to a dull finish,
remove all chalky paint by sanding. Wash with
Haymes Unikleen diluted with water to remove all
dirt, grease and mould. For severe mould growth
clean with a 10% hypochlorite bleach solution.
Rinse with clean water. Fill nail holes, cracks
and imperfections with Haymes Unifill (not
Haymes linseed Oil Putty). Sand smooth and
dust down. Prime metal areas with the
appropriate primer. Any areas of greyed timber
should be sanded back to sound timber and spot
primer with Haymes Wood Primer White of
Haymes Acrylic Timber Primer. Apply one coat
of Haymes Tricoat to old enamel paint.
New Timber:
Fill imperfections with Haymes Unifill (not
Linseed Oil Putty). Apply three coats of
Haymes Low Sheen Solashield. For tannin rich
timbers apply one coat Acrylic Timber Primer
or White Wood Primer.
Preprimed timber: Use of pre-primed timber is
becoming more common for exterior use.
These primers are of variable quality and while
some are high quality primers ready for the
application of finishing coats, some are
intended only as temporary coatings during the
construction period and are not suitable for
painting. Haymes recommend removal of
the primer before application of finish coats. To
determine if the primer is suitable for painting
test the adhesion of the primer to the timber.
Cut a small “x” through the existing coating
with a sharp blade. Press adhesive tape firmly
across the cut and then rip off the tape. If any
of the existing coating comes off it is unsound
and must be removed by sanding. If in any
doubt sand the surface before painting.
Masonry, Fibro, Brick:
Fill imperfections, with Haymes Unifill, sand
smooth and dust down. Apply Haymes Low
Sheen Solashield directly to surface.
Galvanised Iron:
Degrease new galvanised iron. Weathered (no
shine) galvanised iron with a mild detergent
solution and rinse with clean water. Apply one
coat of Haymes Acrylic Galvanised Iron Primer
to weathered galvanised iron to guard against
white rust. Allow 4 hours before re-coating.
Note: this product is not suitable for paving
or contact surfaces.
New Steel. Wrought Iron:
Remove all rust by scraping, sanding or using
Haymes Derustit. Apply two coats of Haymes
Metal Primer Grey allowing 16 hours to dry
between coats.
Roofing:
Prepare surfaces according to label
instructions for pre-painted surfaces or
galvanised iron. Remove all rust by scraping
and sanding. Treat rust areas with Haymes
Derustit. If collecting rainwater disconnect
pipes for TWO good Rains.
FINISHING
Apply two coats of Low Sheen Solashield.
THINNING & CLEAN UP
May be thinned with up to 100ml of water per
litre for first coat on porous surfaces. Apply
subsequent coat/coats unthinned. Clean
equipment with water immediately after use.
PAINTING CONDITIONS
OPTIMUM APPLICATION CONDITIONS ARE

to impair gloss or durability of the coating.

Protect Our Environment: In case of spills shut off all ignition sources. Contain or shut off
leak if safe to do so. For large spills use respiratory protection, protective apparel and
footwear. Spills should be absorbed either with rags (small spill) or dry sand/earth (large spill).
Ensure paint does not get into gutters or drains. Retain in a marked sealed container for future
use or disposal via special 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.
