Preparing for glitter paint

If the surface requires painting or priming first, follow the instructions on these products and allow the paint to fully harden before moving onto the glitter paint.

Firstly, clean the panel with a lint free cloth and a suitable surface cleaner/ degreaser.

Lightly sand the existing surface using P1200 wet and dry paper to remove any imperfections and provide a key to that surface. Wipe off any dust or contaminants.

If required, mask off any areas not to be painted with a quality masking tape and masking paper or roll.

Shake the can for 2 minutes. Apply a first thin coat to give best possible adhesion to the surface being painted.

Allowing time in-between coats, slowly build up the layers of paint until a uniform thickness and coverage is achieved (1-2 coats).

Before any reassembly or use of the item being painted, allow the paint to completely harden following the guide time on the can.

CAUTIONS

*The drying time can change depending on the ambient temperature, humidity and the thickness of the coats applied. Ensure the paint is fully dry before moving onto the next stage.

Take care when preparing older paint surfaces (Pre 1970) as these may contain harmful Lead.

Ensure ventilation is adequate in the area you are painting in to prevent harmful build-up of solvent gasses.

Ensure that the surface to be painted is solid, rust free and smooth.

If it is not, start by repairing any damage by suitable means then filling and sanding the area with the correct dry sanding abrasives if required. Working up in stages from P80, P180, P320 to a final P500 sand to remove the previous sanding marks in that process.
