Metal surfaces
Cleaning the surface

First use a wire brush to remove dirt and rust, then with the selected degreaser remove any oil or grease stains from the surface. Sand the surface with sandpaper and remove the dust with a dry cloth. On the pre-prepared metal surface, the paint will stick and will not peel off. |
Application of the basic coatings

If you are painting corrosion sensitive metal, it is important to apply an anti-corrosive coating. When painting furniture or metal parts that are exposed to moisture, it is recommended to apply a moisture resistant coating. |
Painting

Before painting, make sure that the selected layer of base coat is completely dry. It is recommended that two layers of paint are applied. First paint the corners and then the larger surface areas. Allow the paint to dry for the time recommended by the manufacturer. |
If you haven't finished painting... don't worry, you can continue tomorrow.
Simply put your brushes and rollers in a plastic bag and wrap them well. Keep them for the next day in a cool place to prevent the paint drying out.
VOC Directive
Do you know that Slovenia, as a member of the European Union, has established a strict environmental legislation, a part of which is the VOC Directive (Volatile Organic Compounds) since 2004 on limiting the volatile organic compounds (VOC). In practice, this means that for its implementation we have to replace the organic solvents-based coatings with water-based coatings. The brushes from natural bristles are no longer very suitable for its application, a better choice are synthetic bristle brushes or a combination of both.
