    Surface preparation involves using power tools or wire brushes to remove dust, paint, corrosion, and other contaminants from the damaged areas. The surface must be clean, dry and free of oil prior to application of the zinc-rich paint. The zinc-rich paint should be applied using a brush or spray to a thickness of at least 50% more but no more than 4 mils thicker than the surrounding galvanized coating, applying in two coats if needed to achieve the proper thickness.
