All surfaces must be clean. Remove mold or mildew and degrease by wiping with denatured alcohol (methylated spirit). Use fine grade sandpaper to remove shine and produce a super smooth surface. Wipe clean again.
For the smoothest finish apply 1-2 coats Super Grip Premium Problem-Solving Primer by spraying. Allow each coat to dry and sand lightly with a superfine grade paper, then wipe clean between coats.
For hard-wearing projects, Ulttima Plus Acrylic Porch & Patio Enamel, Ulttima Plus Satin or Gloss (emulsion or oil) paint finish is recommended and spray painting (as for the primer) will provide the smoothest results.

From Aluminum to Zinc and everything in between, this handy guide is a life-saver with specifications from our Vice President of Technical and Head of Innovation (who has been designing formulas specifically for the Caribbean environment for 30 years) identifying the exact coating system you’ll need to guarantee success in coating virtually any surface.
This guide details coating systems to effectively colour, coat and protect virtually any surface encountered in standard construction, renovation and maintenance environments. It provides an outline of the preparation required for successful coating and identifies recommended coating systems for a variety of substrates as well as how to effectively solve surface challenges.
Note: While every effort is made to detail accurate and effective systems, specific project conditions are unknown and can be highly variable. This guide is therefore limited and outlines generally applicable principles. It is not a specification.
While Harris/ B-H Paints do supply specialist High Performance Coatings (HPCs) these fall outside the scope of this guide. HPCs are a class of technically advanced protective coatings designed to give superior levels of impact, abrasion and corrosion protection designed for aggressive environments including high traffic areas and in commercial and industrial applications.
