}}After the proper surface preparation and curing of repaired areas wash the surface well and maintaining it in
saturated surface dry condition proceed for priming using Dr. Fixit Primeseal diluted in 2:1 ratio with water (2
parts Primeseal diluted with 1 part water). Maintain the spreading rate of 8-10 sq mtr per litre for a single coat
application to achieve about 20 – 25 microns DFT. Allow it to dry for 6-8 hrs.

Surface preparation for painted surface:
Existing substrates must be cleaned to remove all dirt, mildew and other contaminants. Treat any areas
affected by Algae,moss or fungal growth with biocide wash solution. This is accomplished by pressure-cleaning
equipment with a minimum capability of 100-140 bar water pressure. All grease, oils and asphalt materials must
641 Dr. Fixit Raincoat Classic

be removed completely.
In repainting Dr. Fixit Primeseal can be eliminated based on existing paint condition.
Repainting:
The performance of Raincoat Classic system will depend upon the condition of the existing paint. If the existing
paint film is flaking or has a weak bonding with the substrate then the subsequent coat of Raincoat classic will
face the adhesion problem.

For a repainting work if the surface is in sound condition then Primeseal is not required and the same covering
rates of Dr. Fixit Raincoat Waterproof Coating and Dr. Fixit Raincoat Classic to be maintained.

Coating
Brush apply one coats of Dr. Fixit Raincoat Waterproof Coating without any dilution Maintain the spreading rate
of 3.5 -4.0 sq mtr per litre / coat application to achieve about 120-130 microns DFT. The second coat of Dr. Fixit
Raincoat Classic Topcoat to be apply with interval of 6-8 hours without any dilution. Maintain the spreading rate
of 6-7 sq mtr per litre / coat application to achieve about 60-70 microns DFT.
