DIRECTIONS
STEP 1 - PREPARING THE FIXTURE (Bathtubs, sinks, tile, fiberglass
showers, countertops, cultured marble)
A. Use products at room temperatures above 60 degrees only. The preparation
of the fixture is the most important step in the refinishing process. Follow
directions completely.
B. Surface must be clean, dry and free from rust. Remove caulking
with a razor blade or putty knife. Remove soap scum, grease,
wax, etc by wiping the fixture with Acetone purchased from your local
hardware store. All fixtures, tile, and especially
fiberglass fixtures must be sanded with 80 grit sandpaper to remove paint
droppings,
silicone caulking film, and other impurities prior to
continuing. Fiberglass fixtures must be thoroughly sanded to roughen the
surface prior to spraying on the bonding agent. (Exceptions are formica countertops, cultured marble and
plastics. These surfaces require a light sanding with 320 grit sandpaper)
C. Remove any rust with a wire brush.
D. Chip or Crack Repairs In Sinks,
Bathtubs, Tile, Cultured Marble and Fiberglass. If chips, cracks or dings are present. These must be
repaired prior to refinishing. Repair kits, with easy to follow directions
are available from our Super Store. After repairs are made, remove any left over debris and wipe
the repaired area lightly with a small amount of Acetone on a paper towel. If you
are just touching up the fixture, spray a light coat of Bonding Agent to the
repair area only, wait 5 minutes and then follow the directions in step #3.
If refinishing the complete fixture proceed to Step #2
* REMOVE ANY SILICONE OR OTHER TYPES OF
CAULKING FROM THE FIXTURE COMPLETELY
STEP 2 – Applying Masking Tape and
Spraying on Bonding Agent
Make sure fixture is dry and free of debris.
Mask plumbing fixtures and surrounding areas with masking tape and paper if
needed. Be sure to
mask the drain areas of bathtubs and sinks. Cut excess tape from drains using a razor knife.
Wipe the entire fixture with Acetone prior to applying the bonding agent.
Allow Acetone to evaporate. Spray a light coat of Bonding Agent to the
entire surface you are refinishing. Hold can 6" to 12 " away from fixture
and spray in a sweeping motion, left to right, starting from one end of the
fixture to the next. Be sure to overlap each stroke 50% and avoid any runs.
On Sinks, start at the drain, and work your way out of the sink to the
edges. For bathtubs, start at drain area, then cover the bottom of the
bathtub, next the sides of the tub, and finally the top lip and the front of
the bathtub last. Wait 5 -15 MINUTES THEN APPLY THE REFINISHER COATING
PAINT AS DIRECTED IN STEP #3. Caution - Do not let Bonding
Agent sit more than 60 minutes before applying the Refinisher Coating. IF
you do, it will have to be removed with Acetone, and Step #2 will have to be
repeated.
STEP 3 – Applying The Refinisher Paint Coating ( Paint Color)
Temperature and humidity may extend drying times.
A. Mask off plumbing fixtures, walls, or any other surfaces not being
refinished.
B. Make sure arrow on spray can is facing away from you.. Hold
the can about 6-8 inches from the surface, spray with short
stroking motions. Do not try to apply coating all at once. Apply 3-light
coats and finish with a good, wet, shiny coat waiting 5 minutes between each
coat.
C. Avoid runs, If you do get any runs, wipe the spray off with a paper towel
lightly saturated with Acetone. Let surface dry. Sand if needed, and remove
debris with a paper towel, lightly saturated with Acetone .
D. To avoid splatters, clean spray nozzle buildup with a clean
cloth, as needed. If the nozzle clogs, hold the can
upside-down and spray to clean out spray nozzle.
E. Overspray can be removed from surfaces using a paper towel lightly
saturated with Acetone. When finished, remove masking tape and paper. Do not
allow fixture to dry with masking tape or paper left on it. Be careful not
to get debris on wet coating. Allow to Dry 24-48 hours – DO NOT USE THE FIXTURE
OR ALLOW THE SPRAYED AREA TO GET WET FOR 24-48 HOURS. The coating will
harden in about 30 minutes please do not touch.

Never clean fixtures with abrasive cleanser, or scrub pads. Do not use bleach
or drain cleaners. Do not use suction type bath mats in bathtubs, all of these will damage the finish. Shelf life of product is 1 year. Keep out of reach of
