In addition, all drainpipes, gutters, railings and soffits to be painted to match existing colours. Prepare surfaces by removing all defective Plastisol with Chemical Cladding Stripper in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Wash and brush to remove all residues of stripper, surface chalking and organic growth. Any damaged surfaces must be rectified.

Remove all residues. Apply primer to all areas of bare metal within 4 hours with one liberal even application Crown Steel Seal Primer (ref PC4CVQ) or similar approved application in accordance with the manufacturers instruction. The wet film thickness must be between 110-130 micrometers. Allow minimum drying time of 6 hours under normal drying conditions before next application.
