  • Sand in a crosshatch pattern for consistent matting
  • Clean the surface thoroughly before painting

Professional Workflow (5 Steps)

  1. Clean the surface from dust, grease, and wax.
  2. Select the right pad (Red for raw materials, Grey for intermediate sanding).
  3. Use slightly moistened or dry depending on the system.
  4. Sand evenly in cross patterns with constant pressure.
  5. Remove residue and dust before applying the next coat.

Troubleshooting
