Application Procedure

For Metal

• De-grease the surface, make the surface oil and dust free.
• Sand the metal surface to remove any rust formation. For heavily rusted surfaces, use cloth emery grits 80-120. For lighty rusted surfaces, use grit 120-220.
• After cleaning, prime the surface using MRF Zinc Phosphate Epoxy Primer Grey/White by brush, roll or spray. Allow to dry for 6-8 hours.
• For galvanised steel and aluminium, use Metal Coat Etch primer in 2 thin coats, to etch the metal surface and make it receptive to primer. Allow to dry for 6-8 hours. Then prime the surface using MRF Zinc Phosphate Epoxy Primer Grey/White.
• Look for dents, cracks, holes, open welded joints, scratches etc. and fill them using MRF Metal Coat Polyester Putty. For large hole or dents, fill with Polyester Putty using successive thin coats. Allow to cure for approximately 30 minutes between putty coats. Sand the putty as necessary.
