PaintNuts Aluminium Window & Door Paint - Fir Green (RAL-6009)

Directions when using paint brush / roller

1. SURFACE PREPARATION

Use a clean cloth with hot soapy water to remove any dust or dirt on the surface.
Once dry use PaintNuts Degreaser to remove any stubborn contaminants, grease or wax.
Use a light grit scotch cloth to 'key' the surface to take off the sheen and improve adhesion for a longer lasting finish.
Wipe down the aluminium surface with degreaser again to remove any residue and leave to dry.
Once dry, mask around the aluminium surface area with masking tape and paper ready for painting.
Mix paint for at least 2 minutes prior to application to ensure colour consistency.

2. APPLICATION

Brush on in smooth strokes. Leave to dry for 15 minutes before applying a second coat.
Once you’ve finished painting wait 15 minutes then carefully remove the masking tape, ensuring you pull the tape away from the painted edge not across it.
Leave to dry for 1-2 hours before touching the frame and 72 hours before the windows can be cleaned.

PLEASE NOTE: Paint should not be applied in cold, damp weather – it will adversely affect the application, finish, and drying time. The recommended minimum temperature for painting is between 10°C and 25°C, preferably out of direct sunlight.

3. CLEANING & STORAGE

Remove as much paint as possible and clean equipment with thinners.
Store indoors in a cool, dry location between 5°C and 25°C and out of direct sunlight.
