A. New Painting

• All areas to be painted must be dry and free of dirt, dust, grease, oil and other contaminants.
• Sand wood surfaces until smooth to the touch and no slivers or rough edges remain. Dust-off completely, then wipe with a clean rag.

B. Repainting

• All areas to be painted must be dry and free of dirt, dust, grease, oil and other contaminants.
• If the existing paint is sound and shows normal chalking, sand lightly and wipe surface dust.
• If the existing paint is cracked, alligatored peeling, or in generally poor condition, completely remove paint film by scraping, wire brushing or sanding.
