Painting Replacement Facias
Replacement facias require solvent cleaning to remove mold release. After washing facia with soap and water, wipe down the surface to be painted with a clean cloth and solvent. Repeat several times, using a clean cloth each time to pull more mold release out of the porous surface. Re-using a cloth will apply mold release to the surface.
NOTE:
Be sure to use proper hand and eye protection when applying solvent and when performing the following welding and grinding/sanding operations.
