Installation Manual
GENERAL: All Homan TGIC polyester powder coated nishes can be repainted.
IMPORTANT: For best renishing results, always follow the specic instructions
provided by your paint manufacturer.
1. Surface Preparation: Generally the following surface preparation can be used.
A. Thoroughly sand all enclosure surfaces with 180 grit sandpaper. If sanding marks
are objectionable, nish sanding with 220 or 240 grit sandpaper.
B. Wet wipe all surfaces with a solvent to remove any possible contaminants.
C. Apply two or three medium to light coats of paint. Allow two or three minutes
ash o between coats.
D. Allow paint to cure adequately. Consult with your paint manufacturer for proper
cure time and hardness prior to testing the paint for adhesion. Air dry enamels
may require signicantly longer cure times over some powders.
2. Paints to use: Various types of paint exhibit greater adhesion qualities than others
when applied over polyester powder. Below is a list of nishes that exhibit very good
adhesion properties.
• Two-component epoxies
• Some two-component polyurethanes
• Alkyd baking enamels
- To avoid discoloration of alkyd nishes do not bake at temperatures
exceeding 150°F.
NOTICE: Always test the repainting process on an inconspicuous area prior to use.
