Primer: 1 coat of Nippon Paint Red Oxide Primer or Zinc Phosphate Primer.

De-rusting (Metal): For steel and iron, use a wire brush or sandpaper to remove all loose rust, mill scale, and corrosion until the surface is clean.
Sanding (Wood): Sand timber surfaces along the grain using suitable sandpaper (Grade #240 or #320). Wipe away all dust and debris before priming.
Degreasing: Remove all oil, grease, and wax from the surface using a solvent or specialized degreaser to ensure maximum paint adhesion.
Old Paint Removal: Scrape off all loose, peeling, or cracked paint. For previously painted surfaces in good condition, lightly sand the old gloss to create a "key" for the new paint.
Dryness Verification: Ensure the substrate is completely dry. Moisture trapped under an enamel film can cause blistering, peeling, or loss of gloss. Avoid painting in high humidity or if rain is expected within 6 hours.
