1.
Degrease components with an alcohol based cleaner per manufacturer’s instructions.
2.
Sand with 400 grit sandpaper, blow and tack off.
Preparation of fabric
Smooth any edges with a small iron. Use dry 400-grit sandpaper to smooth tape and double edges
and remove surface dust bumps. 3M 8500 Sealant or equivalent can be used to cover seams in
corners, as needed.
Painting
The final finish is either a polyurethane DUHS paint from PPG (as used and endorsed by ZA) or
PolyTone paint.
Mix the DUHS paint in accordance with the PPG’s application guide, adding the Plasticizer.
Spray the first coat with a HVLP gun with a 30-50 psi inlet pressure. Allow first coat to become
hand slick, then apply a second coat.
After a minimum of 15 minutes (or after the paint has flashed off), bake the surface for a minimum
of 30 minutes @ 120°F ±10° or air dry at 70°F for approximately eight hours.
