- Thoroughly clean the surface and ensure it is dry and free from
grease, oil, dirt, rust scale and other contaminants.
- Remove all loose rust and flaking paint.
- Thoroughly sand glossy or enamel surfaces.
- Fill nail holes and cracks with appropriate filler and sand
smooth.

AEROSOL
BEFORE SPRAYING
- Shake can vigorously for 1 minute to ensure colour uniformity.
Shake can occasionally during use.
- Remove the cap carefully. Avoid using sharp objects that may
puncture the can.
SPRAYING
- Select the nozzle setting: The horizontal setting should be
used when spraying up and down and the vertical setting should be
used when spraying across. To change the nozzle setting, turn the
red section on the nozzle.
- Hold the can upright approximately 25cm from the surface.
- Press button firmly and spray several light coats with a smooth
sweeping motion, overlapping each spray pass. To prevent paint from
sagging, avoid spraying too close to the surface or applying a
heavy coat.
- Repeat if necessary.
BRUSH ON
- Stir thoroughly with a broad flat stirrer in a circular lifting
motion for at least 5 minutes before use and continue to stir at
regular intervals during application.
- Apply 1-3 coats by brush or roller, depending on glow time
required.
Do not use when air or surface temperature is below 15°C or
above 30°C or in excessive humidity.
Aerosol: Approximately 1.5m² per can, depending on the nature of
the surface and amount of overspray.
Brush on: Approximately 8m² per litre, depending on the nature
of the surface.
Aerosol: Touch dry in 15 minutes. Re-coat after 1 hour.
Brush on: Touch dry in 30 minutes. Re-coat after 2 hours.
Drying will be slower in cold or humid conditions, in the
absence of ventilation or where heavy film builds are applied.
Brightness and glow time is dependant on the film thickness
applied, the ambient light level and the duration of exposure to
light. Brighter lights and longer exposure will result in a
brighter/longer glow time.
For heavy traffic areas, White Knight Glow Safe may be
over-coated with White Knight Clear Guard to extend the life of the
painted surface.
Aerosol: Overspray can be removed while still wet with White
Knight Rust Guard Solvent.
To clean the nozzle after use and prevent blocking turn the can
upside down and press button until only gas escapes.
Brush on: Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately
after use.
