Installation and Maintenance Summary

After surface preparation and the quality of the paint itself, the next most important factor that contributes significantly to the life of the coating system is proper application. Coatings today are becoming more and more specialized in their use and in general require specific application methods which should be followed if the best results are to be achieved.
