3. Spray at room temperature in area with adequate ventilation. DO NOT APPLY AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 70F (21C).

4.SHAKE CAN WELL for one minute after ball rattles. Repeat this procedure occasionally during the application.

5. Test a small area before spraying to insure compatibility.

Selecting a Primer:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Choose a primer close to the same color that you will be using for a finish coat, but not the same color. If you will be using white for a finish coat, a light gray primer is recommended. This will allow you to easily see if you are applying thin, even coats when finishing and will reduce the paint build up due to making a drastic color change.

Specific Uses:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Oxide is used on iron and cast or pot metals where oxidation is a problem. Wipe surface with a solution of half vinegar and half water to remove oxidation, rinse and let dry. Prime metal within 24 hours of this process with thin even coats. Lightly sand between coats for best results.



Yellow Zinc Chromate is used on aluminum surfaces where oxidation causes most primers to lift. It should also be recommended for surfaces where the substrate has a tendency to flex due to rapid changes in temperature or lack of support. Prime and finish both sides of the aluminum for long lasting results.
