- Inside buildings: Machinery, fixed plant, moveable equipment, fork lift trucks, trolleys, frames, guards etc.
- Outside buildings: Exterior surfaces of tanks, pipework and process plant, towers, bridges or any structure which is not part of a building
See also the Manor supplementary information sheet 'Guide to the UK VOC legislation' to understand how the VOC content of a coating determines its suitability for use in any application.
Suitable substrates and preparation
- Untreated steel; for best results blast clean prior to painting to SA 2 1/2, otherwise manually abrade using powered hand tools and abrasives to ST2.
- Previously painted steel; remove rust back to sound metal. Remove loose or flaky paint. Bring forward by patch priming. Sound previously painted surfaces should be lightly abraded prior to application in order to promote adhesion. Remove dust. Remove oil or grease with Panel Cleaner. If using a waterborne degreaser remove fully. Test a small area prior to painting.
- Aluminium and galvanised steel; abrade and pre-treat with Manor Wash Primer, Manor Chromate Free Wash Primer or Manor 1 Pack Etch Primer in accordance with data sheets for these products.
- Other substrates; seek advice from Manor Coating Systems Technical Department

Approximate drying times at 35 microns d.f.t.
Environmental conditions
The air temperature should be at least 5C with a surface temperature 3C above the dew point and the relative humidity below 90%. The drying times will be significantly extended in cold, damp conditions.
Overcoating / repainting
CV Brushing Primer Undercoat is best over coated with 1 Pack Polyurethane to give optimum flow properties. Manor Synthetic Enamel may also be used. When over-coating takes place after 3 days, lightly abrade to improve intercoat adhesion.
Shelf life: Store in cool, dry conditions, typically 5-25C. After a period of storage the product should be thoroughly stirred. Usable life is 2 years from date of manufacture in unopened containers.
