Surface Preparation Checklist

Use this as a conversation and preparation aid. The selected coating system’s current technical and safety information controls exact steps.

  • Identify what is present before removing or abrading it.
  • Clean contamination with a suitable method.
  • Remove loose coating, rust, dust and friable material.
  • Repair defects and allow repairs to become sound.
  • Check profile, dryness and compatibility.
  • Mask only after the surface is ready.
  • Do a final inspection under useful light.
