Exterior Ferrous Metal

Surface Preparation

All surfaces must be cured, clean, sound, dry and free of all dirt, dust, efflorescence, wax, oil, grease, chalk and any other contamination that would interfere with new coating adhesion. Consult our ferrous metal surface preparation recommendations or contact us for assistance. Performance will be directly related to the degree of surface preparation.
