Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use to prepare my surface before painting?

Are primers necessary for industrial and marine coatings?
Yes. All exposed substrates in industrial or marine environments require a primer to ensure proper adhesion and protection. Our primers come in two brands; Prolast and Protecton.
Do I need to remove old paint before repainting?
Not always. If the existing paint is intact, you can paint over it. However, if it's peeling or flaking, it’s best to remove the loose areas before applying new paint.

How do I treat peeling paint?
Start by ensuring the surface is clean and free of loose material. Apply a suitable primer, allow it to dry thoroughly, then proceed with painting.
How can I clean surfaces affected by efflorescence?
