| Preparation |
PREVIOUSLY
PAINTED SURFACES: Sand old surfaces with 120 grade (grit) paper.
Remove sanding residue. Wipe with Brushing Liquid 333. Repair surface
defects with Surfacing Putty 257. Sand surface, wipe clean.
BARE WOOD: Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Wipe with Brushing
Liquid 333. Repair surface defects with Surfacing Putty 257. PLYWOOD:
Follow directions for bare wood. Apply Inter-Prime Wood Sealer Clear
1026. MAHOGANY Follow directions for bare wood. Apply Pre-Kote directly
to the wood.
BARE FIBERGLASS: Wipe a small area with a clean rag that has been
wetted with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. While the surface is still wet,
wipe with a clean, dry rag. Continue this process until the entire
surface has been cleaned. Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Wipe with
Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Repair surface defects with Interfill Epoxy
Filler. Sand surface, wipe clean. |

Apply
1-2 coats. Depending on surface condition. Allow the necessary
overcoating time between applications. Sand between primer coats with
120 grade (grit) paper until translucent. Remove sanding residue with a
rag dampened with Brushing Liquid 333. Apply finish coats. Sand with 220
grade (grit) paper between Pre-Kote and finish enamel. |

| Hints |
Thinner Brush
- Brushing Liquid 333. Spray - Special Thinner 216.
Cleaner Painted Surfaces - Brushing Liquid 333. Bare Wood -
Brushing Liquid 333. Bare Fiberglass - Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202.
Ventilation and Humidity Control It is best to paint on
warm, dry mornings.
Airless Spray Pressure: 170-204 bar/2500-3000 psi. Tip Size:
0.48-0.53 mm/19-21 thou.
Conventional Spray Pressure Pot: Pressure: 3.44-4.08
bar/50-60 psi (gun pressure). Pot pressure (6 ft hose) 8-10 psi. Tip
Size: 0.89-1.4 mm/35-50 thou. Siphon Cup: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65
psi - gun pressure. Tip Size: 1.8-2.2 mm/70-85 thou.
Other Spray pressures listed are recommendations only. The
applicator may use any settings which yield the best results for the
individual spraying technique and current weather conditions. It is
always good painting practice to apply the finish enamel soon after
sanding to avoid surface contamination. Always apply at least one coat
of Pre-Kote over area treated with Surfacing Putty 257 to seal the putty
and eliminate shadows. |

| Some
Important Points |
Pre-Kote
is a high solids primer. Avoid a heavy application as this may lead to
solvent entrapment. Product temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F
and maximum 29°C/85°F. Ambient temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F
and maximum 35°C/95°F. Substrate temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F
and maximum 29°C/85°F. |

|
| Compatibility/Substrates |
Apply
to clean, dry, properly prepared surfaces only. Do not apply over clear
epoxy such as Epiglass Epoxy. |
