Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to APPLICATION Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator to control lead exposure. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from any surface, you may release lead paint dust. Smooth, hard, or glossy finishes should be scarified by sanding to create a surface profile. Previously coated surfaces must be sound and in good condition. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Rinse with fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry. Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a commercial detergent, or other suitable cleaning method. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist. Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Do not use on objects that may exceed 200✯ (93✬) surface temperature. Use when temperature is between 50-90✯ (10- 32✬) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying. Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open garage. TIP: Some plastics made of polyethylene such as plastic storage containers are manufactured in a way that may hinder maximum paint adhesion. Universal features a comfort grip trigger that reduces fatigue caused by continuous spraying and any-angle tip which allows you to spray at any angle. Universal Gloss & Flat Enamel Sprays are ideal for plastic, wood, metal, wicker, and aluminum. These sprays apply easily, provide excellent coverage and dry fast to a tough, attractive finish. If you clear coat, make sure it is UV protective, or it will yellow over time, even if it isn't subjected to UV rays.Īnd coat of automotive paste wax never hurt a good paint job, or even a so-so paint job.Universal® Gloss Enamel Sprays provide long-lasting protection and durability. Meaning, the less paint build up, the lesser chances are of chipping and cracking down the road. I always coat the inside of the body tube with TiteBond II.Īdds strength to the tube, prevents moister wicking when wet sanding, and protects the tube on ejection charges. Wipe down with a wet clean coat and let dry over night. Usually an old sock or piece of old T-Shirt. Occasionally wiping away residue with a paper towel or rag. I keep a container of warm water at hand, dipping and rinsing the sandpaper. If needed, you can dry sand primer with 220 for recoating.Ĥ00 wet sanding for pre-painting is preferred. Finish with 220 before priming.Ģ good coats of primer is all you should need. Plus most primers I have priced out are less expensive than base and top coats.ġ80 cuts pretty fast prior to priming. I have also found that the more prep work I do, and I consider filling and priming "prep work', the less painting and mucking around trying to get a good finish, so it pays off. The bigger issue I have found is oils transferring from my hands during the sanding process into the primer, which is why I now wear gloves while sanding and handling the rocket during the painting process. 600 may sound smooth but it is not for any of the paints that I have used, and they include Rusto2x, Rusto reg, Dupli-color Acrylic Enamel in a can, Dupli-color HVLP Paint Shop 123 system (lacquer based automotive), Plutonium (lacquer based automotive), Krylon ColorMaster, Krylon Camouflage Matte, and I am likely forgetting a few. I find wet-sanding superior to dry sanding because I sand under running water or from a bucket, and in doing so the water flushes away the debris as I sand. That is for FW/FG and plastic, but not on paper tubes. I regularly wet sand with 400 and even 600 without any issues with adhesion.
