Dulux Precision All Metal Primer is suitable for Domestic applications only.
Dulux Precision All Metal Primer is not suitable for use on Structural, Infrastructure, Commercial or Industrial fabrications.
For Structural, Infrastructure, Commercial and Industrial fabrications Dulux recommends standard AS/NZS 2312 (as updated) be followed using the appropriate Dulux Protective Coatings products.
Do not paint at temperatures at or below 10ºC or when the temperature may fall below 10ºC during the drying period. Rain or dew will damage the film during the drying period. Whilst this product is lead free, it contains dispersants and inhibitors which will affect drinking water. When priming roofs used for collection of drinking water, disconnect run off pipes until the primer has been coated with an appropriate Dulux Roofing Coating.
Do not tint
Prepainted surfaces: Ensure any loose and flaking paint (see Note 1.) is scraped off. Sand all surfaces to a flat finish. Dust off. Treat any bare metal as indicated below.
Please Note:
1. Check the adhesion of the old paint by cutting an 'X' through the film with a razor blade or trimming knife, pressing cellulose tape firmly across the cut and ripping it off. If the old paint comes off with the tape it should all be removed.
2. Dulux Precision All Metal Primer is suitable for use on substrates that have been sand blasted. (Be mindful that this product is for domestic use only and not for commercial, industrial or infrastructure use where most sand blasted metal surfaces are likely to be present.)
3. For commercial & industrial fabrications Dulux recommends standard AS/NZS 2312 (as updated) be followed using the appropriate.
