| SURFACE PREPARATIONS
For use over bare metal once previous finish has been blasted or stripped and all traces of surface rust are removed. Clean surface with a Wax and Grease Remover such as Eastwood’s 11999ZP, a strong solvent blend designed to remove tar, wax, grease, road grime, silicone and surface contaminants. If any new or smooth metal remains, be sure to abrade surface, then re-clean with 11999ZP or other appropriate solvent product. When applying Eastwood Epoxy Primer over existing finishes, use same steps starting with the Wax and Grease Remover (11999ZP). Abrade the surface with 320 to 400 grit, then re-clean with 11999ZP or other appropriate solvent product to remove any debris prior to application. |

| MIXING RATIOS
After shaking/stirring primer, thoroughly mix one part 50242ZP (primer, quart) with one part 50243ZP (catalyst, quart), or 50244ZP (primer, gallon) with 502445ZP (catalyst, gallon). No induction time is required with this epoxy system.
OPTION
To reduce film build, 1:1 mixture may be cut by up to 20% with a urethane-grade reducer or other appropriate solvent product. Doing this may also improve the flow and leveling of epoxy primer. Eastwood suggests using a Zero-VOC reducer to avoid potential compliance issues.
Use caution in mixing materials as epoxy primer may begin to gel after approximately 90 minutes (at 70 °F). |

| APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Eastwood Epoxy Primer should be applied in medium wet coats, with a 30-minute flash period between each (at 70 °F). Typically, one to two coats is enough to achieve the desired 1 mil. dry film thickness, though more material may be applied as needed. Additional build requires longer flash periods between coats. Epoxy primer may be topcoated after approximately 30 minutes (wait 45-60 minutes after applying more than two coats), or up to about five days. After five days, primer MUST be scuff sanded prior to topcoat application. May be sanded (wet) the day after application. Wait two to three days before sanding dry. |

| CLEANUP
