3. Setup and Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation is critical for optimal adhesion and durability of the paint. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound before beginning.

3.1 പൊതുവായ തയ്യാറെടുപ്പ്

• Remove all loose paint, rust, dirt, grease, oil, salt, and other contaminants.
• Wash the surface thoroughly with a suitable marine cleaner and rinse with fresh water. Allow to dry completely.
• Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a dull finish for better adhesion.

3.2 Specific Surface Preparation

• ഫൈബർഗ്ലാസ്: Clean thoroughly. Sand with 220-grit sandpaper to dull the surface. Wipe with a solvent cleaner to remove sanding dust and wax.
• മരം: Ensure wood is dry and free of rot. Sand smooth with 120-180 grit sandpaper. Prime with a suitable wood primer if necessary, especially for new or bare wood.
• Metal (Steel/Aluminum): Remove all rust or corrosion. Sand with 120-180 grit sandpaper. Prime with a rust-inhibiting or marine-grade metal primer.
• മുമ്പ് വരച്ച ഉപരിതലങ്ങൾ: Ensure the existing paint is sound and well-adhered. Clean and sand with 220-grit sandpaper to dull the surface. If the old paint is peeling or flaking, remove it completely.

3.3 മിശ്രണം

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application to ensure uniform color and consistency. Do not shake the can, as this can introduce air bubbles. If thinning is required (check product label for specific recommendations), use a high-quality paint thinner compatible with alkyd paints, adding sparingly until desired consistency is achieved.

4. Operating and Application

Apply paint when air and surface temperatures are between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C) and humidity is below 85%. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or when rain is expected.

4.1 Application Methods

• ബ്രഷ്: Use a high-quality natural bristle brush. Apply in thin, even coats, brushing in one direction to minimize brush marks.
• റോളർ: Use a short-nap (1/4" or 3/8") solvent-resistant roller cover. For a smoother finish, 'tip' the rolled paint with a brush immediately after rolling.
• സ്പ്രേ: For spray application, refer to the product label for specific thinning recommendations and equipment settings (e.g., airless or conventional spray). Ensure proper respiratory protection.

4.2 Number of Coats

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability. Additional coats may be applied for enhanced protection or color depth.

4.3 Drying and Recoat Times

Drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Refer to the product label for precise times. General guidelines are:

• Dry to Touch: ഏകദേശം 2-4 മണിക്കൂർ.
• റീകോട്ട് സമയം: Typically 16-24 hours. Do not recoat before the previous coat is fully dry to the touch.
• Full Cure: Full hardness and durability are achieved after several days to a week. Avoid heavy use or exposure to harsh conditions during this period.

5. പരിപാലനം

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and protective qualities of your painted surface.

• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Wash the painted surface periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the finish.
• പരിശോധന: Regularly inspect the painted surface for any signs of wear, chipping, or damage. Address minor issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.
• Touch-ups: For small areas of damage, clean and lightly sand the affected spot, then apply a thin coat of paint, feathering the edges to blend with the surrounding area.

6. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

Addressing common issues during or after application can help achieve a satisfactory finish.

• Bubbling or Blistering: Often caused by moisture trapped under the paint, improper surface preparation (e.g., grease), or applying paint in direct sunlight on a hot surface. Ensure surfaces are dry and clean, and apply in appropriate conditions.
• മോശം അഡീഷൻ: Usually due to inadequate surface preparation, such as insufficient cleaning, sanding, or incompatible previous coatings. Ensure proper cleaning and sanding as outlined in Section 3.
• Uneven Finish / Brush Marks: Can result from applying paint too thickly, using an incorrect brush/roller, or painting in conditions that cause the paint to dry too quickly. Apply thin, even coats and work in appropriate temperatures.
• Slow Drying: High humidity, low temperatures, or applying excessively thick coats can prolong drying times. Ensure proper ventilation and environmental conditions.
• Cracking or Peeling: May occur if the surface was not properly prepared, if too many coats were applied too quickly, or if the paint is applied over an incompatible coating.
