Previously Painted Surfaces

If in sound condition, clean the surface of all foreign material.
Smooth, hard or glossy coatings and surfaces should be dulled by
abrading the surface. Apply a test area, allowing paint to dry one
week before testing adhesion. If adhesion is poor, or if this product
attacks the previous finish, removal of the previous coating may be
necessary. If paint is peeling or badly weathered, clean surface to
sound substrate and treat as a new surface as above.
