Repainting the scratched areas
Tools and materials
Use the following tools and materials. If the listed tools are not available in your local market, you can use products
with similar characteristics approved by a qualified technician, and get approval from FIMER.
Painting the damaged surface (no visible rust)
If there is damage(s) to the paint surface, but no damages to the metal surface (i.e. no visible rust), then follow these
instructions:
1. Clean the damaged area first with a suitable detergent and clean water.
2. Let the surface dry completely and keep it clean.
3. Apply the first layer of paint to the damaged area. Let it dry thoroughly for at least 12 hours.
4. Apply the second layer of paint to the damaged area.
Painting the damaged surface (visible rust)
If the damage extends to the metal surface or there is visible rust:
1. Remove the rust with sandpaper/polishing disk.
2. Clean the damaged area and its surroundings using a cloth or blower.
3. If necessary, apply putty to even out the surface.
4. Coat the damaged area with an epoxy primer. Let it dry thoroughly (for at least 24 hours).
5. Apply first layer of paint to the damaged area. Let it dry thoroughly (for at least 12 hours).
6. Apply second layer of paint to the damaged area.
7. Apply final layer (e.g. Aliphatic Polyurethane coating).
Maintenance of Zinc coated surfaces
Pay attention to doors and lower parts of the walls. These areas have potentially corrosive elements such as dust
and humidity.
If there is damage to the zinc-coating:
1. Carefully remove any rust with sandpaper.
2. Clean the damaged area and its surroundings.
3. Coat the damaged area with the zinc coating. FIMER recommends to use Würth Zinc 300 due to the thicker coat.
On large areas, you can use Würth Zinc Spray Perfect to ease the work and to get an even surface.
