System Application Guide

Recommended Tools:

• Paint Roller Frame
• 12" Paint Roller Sleeves
• Paint Brushes
• Paint Scuttle (for the primer and top-coat) 
• 5L Mixing Paddle
• Disposable Gloves 
• Spiked Shoes 

Preparation:

• Old paint finishes should be removed if flaking at all and the surface should be sanded to create a texture (also known as a mechanical key) prior to applying ChromeX Metallic Floor Paint
• When preparing for a floor coat, doing so mechanically (shot-blasting or grinding) is always advisable for best results. If this is not possible, then using a chemical etcher such as Resin Technologies Etch & Clean is a potentially better alternative
• After the surface has been completely abraded or etched, thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area of any remaining dust or contaminants

Please Note: Acidic etchers can typically only be used on bare concrete

Mixing and Application:

Primer:

• Mix Part A on its own with a mixing paddle attached to an electric drill for about 1 minute before adding ALL of Part B and continue to mix for another 90 seconds, keeping the paddle in suspension to avoid mixing air into the unit
• Pour entirety of the tin's contents into a plastic paint scuttle or tray
• Immediately begin applying Chromex Metallic Floor Paint primer with a nylon-bonded resin suitable roller
• Use a brush around the edges to cut in (a second pair of hands can be useful for this stage)
• Once completed, leave for up to 24 hours to fully cure
• After the primer has been applied, the first coat of Metallic Mid Coat should be applied no longer than 24 hours after the primer has cured or is dry to touch

Midcoat:

• The metallic pigment and PART A of the Midcoat come premixed but the pigment may have settled, so mix PART A slowly but thoroughly and leave it to stand 10min
• Slowly add PART B to PART A to create your first colour and mix together mechanically, as with the primer
• For the first coat, pour contents into a scuttle and apply your coat across the entire surface
• Repeat the above the three steps for your second colour
• In a decorative manner, pour your midcoat colour onto the floor, creating a design/pattern of your choosing (be sure to hold the bucket low to the floor to avoid any splashing)
• Once both colours are down, use a roller or squeegee to create your final pattern, ensuring all areas are covered. Once satisfied with the design, allow to cure for 24 hours or when not tacky to touch

Topcoat:

• Apply a thin coat of ChromeX Metallic Polyurethane UVR topcoat using a roller in a consistent, thorough coating method

Please note: The pot life for the Primer and Midcoat is is 20 minutes. The topcoat is 2+ hours.
