Surface Preparation
Before applying Primax Hi-Build Synthetic Metallic Paint, make sure the surface is dry, clean and free from dust, grease, oil, rust, loose paint and other contamination. Proper preparation is important for both protection and final metallic appearance.
For steel surfaces, remove rust and weak coating by sanding, scraping or wire brushing. A suitable primer should be applied where required, especially when corrosion protection is important. For wood surfaces, sand properly and remove all dust before painting.
A clean, stable and properly prepared surface helps the metallic paint bond better and gives a smoother, more attractive final look.
Application Guidance
Application
Apply Primax Hi-Build Synthetic Metallic Paint evenly by brush or spray. Keep the application consistent to achieve a balanced metallic appearance across the surface.
Metallic Finish Control
Metallic paints can show variation if application is uneven. Maintain proper thinning, steady spray movement or careful brushing to help create a smooth and uniform metallic effect.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Painting on Dusty or Greasy Surfaces
Dust, oil and grease can reduce adhesion and spoil the finish. Always clean the surface properly before painting.
Skipping Rust Removal on Steel
Rust should be removed before application. Painting over rust can reduce protection and affect the durability of the coating.
Uneven Application
Metallic finishes can look patchy if application is inconsistent. Keep spray or brush movement steady for a smoother result.
Over-Thinning the Paint
Excessive thinning can reduce coverage and affect the metallic appearance. Follow the recommended thinning ratios.
Recoating Too Early
Allow proper drying before recoating. Early recoating can affect adhesion, gloss and final finish quality.
