Preparation

BARE FIBERGLASS: Remove all contamination with Fibreglass Solvent Wash 202 or Fibreglass Surface Prep YMA601. Abrade with 120-220 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue.

CLEAR EPOXY: Allow three to five days for clear epoxies to cure fully. Remove amine blush by using Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601. Sanding does not remove contamination. Rinse with fresh water. Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper and remove sanding residue with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Repair any defects with Interfill Epoxy Filler or Watertite, then sand with 120-220 grade (grit) paper and remove sanding residue. Apply one coat of Epoxy Primekote. Sand and wipe clean with Fibreglass Solvent Wash 202.

BARE WOOD: Sand surface, wipe clean. Apply Pre-Kote, sand surface and wipe clean.

BARE METAL: Sandblast or grind, remove sanding residue. Immediately apply Viny-Lux Primewash 353/354 thinned 25% with Viny-Lux Solvent 355. Allow to dry for 1-24 hours. Apply one coat of Epoxy Primekote. Clean as for Bare Fiberglass above. Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue. Apply one coat of Epoxy Primekote.

PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES: The surface must be clean and dry. Sand with 220 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue.

Method Apply 2-3 coats of Brightside following the proper dry times. Sand between each coat with 220 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue with a rag dampened with Brushing Liquid 333. Brightside may be applied by roller and brush using the roll and tip method.

Hints

Thinner Brush - Brushing Liquid 333. Spray - Special Thinner 216.

Thinning Thin if necessary with Brushing Liquid 333 to improve brushing characteristics.

Cleaner Bare Fiberglass - Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202 or Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601. Epoxy - Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202 or Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601.

Ventilation and Humidity Control It is best to paint on warm, dry mornings. Cold weather retards the drying and humidity can spoil the gloss.

Airless Spray Pressure: 170 bar/2500 psi. Tip Size: 0.33-0.41 mm/13-16 thou.

Conventional Spray Pressure Pot: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65 psi (gun pressure); 8-10 psi (pot pressure). Tip Size: 0.89-1.4 mm/35-50 thou. Siphon Cup: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65 psi - gun pressure. Tip Size: 1.5-1.8 mm/60-70 thou.

Other Spray pressures listed are recommendations only. The applicator may use any settings which yield the best results for the individual spraying technique and current weather conditions. Brightside is best applied in thin coats.

Some Important Points Do not apply heavy coats as this will affect dry through. Failure to follow proper dry times carefully will cause improper drying, wrinkling and loss of adhesion. Avoid painting in direct sunlight. Product temperature should be minimum 10 deg C/50 deg F and maximum 29 deg C/85 deg F. Ambient temperature should be minimum 10 deg C/50 deg F and maximum 35 deg C/95 deg F. Substrate temperature should be minimum 10 deg C/50 deg F and maximum 29 deg C/85 deg F.
