Prepare
- First up, ensure you have all the right equipment for the job.
- Get your area ready by giving it a wash to remove any dirt or surface contamination.
- Then lay down and attach drop sheets to protect surrounding surfaces.
- If you're painting onto a bare surface, contact Wattyl Assist (132 101) for correct priming instructions.
- Scrape off any loose paint and sand the surface using 180-grit sandpaper or block.
- Then brush or rinse off all the sanding dust and let it dry completely.

Paint
- Give your can of Wattyl Solagard a thorough stir.
