3 STEP: SIMPLE SURFACE PREPARATION GUIDE - BEFORE APPLICATION: 🏡 

Reading the following information below will help you understand how to prepare all surfaces to be painted like a pro.

Whether you’re painting your Interior, Exterior or furniture. The surface preparation remains the same.

To get the best adhesion & results from HQC Paint, you need to get your surface ready in 3 Short Steps.  

It's critical to achieve perfect results.

Step 1):

If your painting on pre-painted surfaces, Ensure your surfaces are dry, & have been cleaned and if there's any rough patches surfaces must be repaired and sanded. 

(If your painting on fresh plaster please apply a base-coat or a primer before painting, thinning this paint with 50% water will allow a thin layer to be used as a base/mist coat) (use primer on wood & metal surfaces.)

Step 2):

Ensure your wall cracks are filled and repaired to minimise risk of damp.

Step 3):

Ensure your wall or surface is fully dried, dust-free, and condensation-free with no flaking paints.

(NOTE: MOULD, Condensation and Damp problems only grow back when the root issue of the problem is not solved. Mainly caused by bad ventilation & water ingress)

Once your surface is prepared, you're ready to apply HQC Zinc Phosphate Primer!

Very Easy-to-Apply: This primer is specially formulated for optimal protection and adhesion. Use a Brush, Roller, or Airless Sprayer for an even and effective application. It's particularly suitable for metal surfaces, providing excellent rust inhibition and a strong foundation for topcoats.

HQC Zinc Phosphate Primer can be used on both interior and exterior metal fixtures, railings, gates, and industrial equipment.

(NOTE: Ensure that all metal surfaces are clean, rust-free, and dry before application. For superior protection and adhesion, allow the primer to dry completely before applying the topcoat.)

Should i use a primer before painting?

Use primer if required and this should be used on most unpainted surfaces. OR If you are going to paint on absorbent surfaces like fresh plaster, bricks, stone and or concrete surfaces, you can make a mist coat by mixing your first coat with 50% water. 

Can i use this on Wood or metal?

(This product is also suitable to be used on wood (wood surfaces must be sanded for a smooth finish) & metal surfaces and Furniture with a good quality primer OR HQC universal primer.)
