Surface and Job Preparation
With any paint project you should always ensure that you have prepared your surface to get the best finish. You must ensure all surfaces are free from
dust, dirt, rust and grease. Lightly pressure wash decks or exterior surfaces and ensure they are dry before painting.
With pre-coated or pre-painted surfaces lightly rub down with sandpaper to ensure a good key for the paint. With bare wood surfaces wipe with a damp
rag to ensure the surface is free of dust.
It is recommended that masking off edges and other areas and using a drop cloth to ensure you protect those areas you wish to remain untouched.
