- The expected life span is directly related to the surface cleanliness and proper application, it is therefore mandatory to remove the grease, oil and wax by solvent cleaning
- Any rust or salts can be removed by dry brush, chipping, needle gun or spot blast
- Soluble salts must be washed and dried before the painting job
