SURFACE PREPARATION 
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical 
contaminants by washing the surface with a commercial 
detergent, or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with 
fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry. Remove loose 
paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Previously 
coated surfaces must be sound and in good condition. 
Smooth, hard, or glossy finishes should be scarified by 
sanding to create a surface profile.

any surface, you may release lead paint dust. LEAD IS 
TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE 
SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE; 
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN

approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up 
carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you
