From these notes it will be realized that paint technology and manufacture is a very involved procedure covering a wide field of technical and chemical knowledge. It will now be obvious that one paint could not possible serve every purpose and unless manufacturers’ instructions and recommendations are followed the many special properties and advantages built into a tin of paint will be lost and the final result unsatisfactory. To illustrate this point, remember that:-
- Primer must be used on wood or metal as this provides basic protection and adhesion both chemically and physically. The primer must itself be protected as it may not be weather resistant – therefore, use:-
- Undercoating to provide extra thickness to the coating scheme, give a good key to the finish and form a suitable opaque coloured base. Undercoating is not weather resisting and must be covered by:-
- Enamel or Gloss Finish in the required shade which is weather resistant, hard and attractive in appearance.
Each of the above paints serves a different purpose and none can be used to replace another. Similar sets of applications rules apply to other types of paints and the manufacturer is the best person to advise upon correct usage.
