| Primer
applied as single coat (high build) with double
coat of topcoat. |
| |
| Additional
primer may be required on rough substrate. |
| |
| Sealer/primer
required on porous surfaces. |
| |
| Repaint
- primer not req'd if surface is integrally sound.
Rust areas should be properly cleaned & primed. |
| |
| Note: |
If
hide is not a factor, primer thickness
can often be increased with corresponding
decrease in the topcoat (thus saving money).
Deep, bright red, yellow or blue colours
can be achieved by using Starpoxy ™
High Build Primer which is available in
bright red, yellow or deep blue. A single
topcoat at 1.0 to 1.5 mils DFT is commonly
sufficient if primer is increased accordingly.
Brush
& Roll topcoat applications will approximate
2½ to 3 mils DFT per coat due to
greater viscosity. StarpoxyTM primer should
roll out at 1½ to 2 mils.
