About PRECISION® Coatings Remover (Red)
Dulux PRECISION® Restoration Coatings Remover is a water-based product, which is effective for removing multiple layers of architectural and industrial coatings from interior and exterior surfaces. Dulux PRECISION® Restoration Coatings Remover is safer to use than traditional coatings removal systems, as it is designed to trap aged coatings in a wet state, preventing airborne dust particles.

Areas to use
Previously Painted Surfaces
Always perform a small inconspicuous test on each type of surface/paint coating to be removed before general use to determinecompatibility, yield, proper thickness and dwell time needed.Remove any loose or peeling paint prior to application. Mask/protect areas where stripping is not desired.
Brush, roller
Using a brush, roller, trowel or spray, apply product approximately 3mm - 6mm thick to the coated surface evenly, according to number of layers and type of coating being removed (refer to test patch results). This product is not recommended for airless spray application. We recommended the use of a hopper gun with all stainless steel contact parts. Contact your trade rep for information on suitable spray application equipment.NB: At the end of each day or at the end of the job rinse the hopper and gun thoroughly with water to prevent any of the Precision Paint remover drying on the surface or within the hopper and gun.Post application, cover the product with the special laminated paper, printed side facing out. Use tape to create an air-tight seal along the edges to allow the coating remover to work at maximum efficiency.Allow product to dwell on the coatings for 1-72 hours, depending on the number of coats and type of coatings being removed (refer to test patch results). In some cases, with very old heritage listed buildings, it may require several days for optimal results.After the appropriate dwell time remove the coating, product and laminated paper as a single layer with the assistance of a metal paint scraper. Agitate any remaining surface residue with a stiff nylon brush or scouring pad, paying particular attention to crevices, grooves and cracks. Exterior stripped surfaces should then be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water. Interior surfaces can be rinsed using a sponge and soapy water. Refer to special instructions for the neutralisation process and the use of Dulux PRECISION Neutraliser. This is most important since Dulux PRECISION Restoration Coatings Remover is an alkaline paste and the treated surface must be neutralised before any recoating of the surface can be done. Dulux PRECISION Neutraliser can be purchased in 100g and 2kg packs.
