Bare Steel. Onto sandblasted steel according to SA 2,5 apply one coat of EPOFOND AM-9. If sandblasting would not be possible degrease the surface and remove any trace of corrosion providing a suitable anchor pattern. Any loose paint should be meccanically removed. Apply 2 coats of EPOFOND AM-9 primer and let dry. Fill up if necessary with PLAMUR FINISHER MDF. Apply then one coat of POLIFOND primer, let dry for 24 hours and sandpaper. Overcoat with 2 coats of SPACE TOP ENAMEL allowing 18-24 hours between coats.
