surfaces whether previously painted or not.
Do not apply over rusty, unprepared metal surfaces.
Quick drying - avoid application to very hot surfaces.
Not designed to withstand natural weathering. Overcoat as
soon as possible after the applicable recoating time,
particular in coastal conditions.
Coats Required Apply one or two coats Dulux Trade Corrocote 1 Metal
Etch Primer, depending on the severity of the conditions to

SURFACE PREPARATION
Ensure that surfaces are sound and free from contaminants such as rust, mill scale, salt,
algae, dust, oil, grease, dirt, and debris. Surfaces must be thoroughly dry.
NEW SURFACES
Galvanised Iron, Aluminium and all Non-ferrous Metals
· Remove all traces of temporary protective coating, dirt and grease from the surface with
Dulux Galvanised Iron Cleaner. Ensure complete removal of Dulux Galvanised Iron
Cleaner by rinsing with running water. A water-break free surface indicates thorough
cleaning - running water should not form droplets. If a water-break free surface was not
achieved, repeat the cleaning process.
· Prime immediately after cleaning with one to two coats Dulux Trade Corrocote 1 Metal
Etch Primer, depending on the severity of the conditions. Two coats recommended for
coastal conditions.
· For best paint system performance when over coating non-roof sheeting surfaces with
conventional coatings follow primer with Dulux Trade Universal Undercoat or Dulux
Universal Undercoat before applying the selected finishing coat.
Mild Steel and Iron (Finishing with Conventional Coatings)

· Inspect shop-primer thoroughly for damage by installation. Abrade new surfaces lightly
and remove rust, mill scale by sanding, scraping or with steel wire brushes back to
sound mild steel and iron or sandblast to SA 2½.
· Ensure that the sanded areas are dry and free of grease and dust. A solvent wash (rags
dipped in lacquer thinner) may be used. Change the rags frequently. Allow drying, OR
clean with Dulux Galvanised Iron Cleaner according to technical data sheet.
· Apply one or two coats Dulux Trade Corrocote 1 Metal Etch Primer, depending on the
severity of the conditions. Two coats are preferred for coastal conditions.
· For best paint system performance follow primer with Dulux Trade Universal
Undercoat or Dulux Universal Undercoat before applying the selected finishing coat.
Mild Steel and Iron - Interior (Finishing with Dulux Trade Hi-Chem Epoxy Enamel)
· Hand cleaning is not recommended.
· Surfaces must be clean and rust-free. Remove mill scale and rust by abrasion blasting
to Sa2½ minimum standard.
· Ensure that the blasted areas are dry and free of grease and dust. A solvent wash (rags
dipped in lacquer thinner) may be used. Change the rags frequently.
· Allow drying.
· Apply one or two coats Dulux Trade Corrocote 1 Metal Etch Primer, depending on the
severity of the conditions. Two coats are preferred for coastal conditions.

SURFACE PREPARATION
NEW SURFACES
Rigid PVC
· Lightly sand surface to improve adhesion.
· Clean and degrease with Dulux Pre-Paint Brush Cleaner/Degreaser.
· Rinse thoroughly with water and allow drying.
· Apply one coat directly.
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES

· The existing coating system should be dry and free of rust, contaminants such as oil,
grease and loose paint.
· Abrade damaged or failed areas back to a sound substrate.
· Aged or weathered epoxies or urethanes must be well sanded to a matt finish to provide
a profile for adhesion
· Test that the prepared painted surface will accept over coating with Dulux Trade
Corrocote 1 Metal Etch Primer by allowing a cloth soaked with Dulux Trade HD
Thinners to rest on it for 15 minutes - it must not lift or wrinkle. If lifting or wrinkling
occurs, all paint must be removed with most suitable means back to the bare metal
surface
· Spot prime only the exposed substrate as per new surfaces
· Build up spot-primed areas with Dulux Trade Universal Undercoat or Dulux
Universal Undercoat to the same level as the rest of the paintwork only when finishing
with a conventional coating
HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Solvent based paints are flammable.
This product contains no added lead. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Keep out of reach of
children. If accidently swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container
to the doctor. Dry sanding, flame cutting and/or welding of the dry paint film will give rise to
dust and/or hazardous fumes. Wet sanding should be used wherever possible.
If exposure cannot be avoided by the provision of local exhaust ventilation, suitable
respiratory protective equipment should be used. Do not empty into drains or watercourses.
Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. It is recommended to use suitable
protective clothing and equipment. To avoid the risk of spillage, always store and transport
containers in a secure upright position. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for complete
information.
