How to prepare a roof for painting

1. 01Hand or power tool clean the roof to remove any flaky paint or heavily oxidised areas that are not sound.
2. 02Water blast the prepared surface to remove all remaining dust and contaminants such as bird faeces, dirt, construction dust and road grime, leaving a clean dry surface to work on. Let the roof dry out thoroughly before applying the flexible coating.
3. 03Prime the metal roof or other surface areas with Noxyde and allow to cure. Rust bleed through the primer coat is perfectly normal and will not affect the coating performance.
4. 04Apply two top coats to the roof and leave to cure.

We recommend NOXYDE coating from MMP Coatings in Auckland as this is proven in the New Zealand (and overseas) markets since 1993. Noxyde is a single component, odourless water-based product that can be washed up in water, has excellent shelf life, and a 30 year plus recorded performance history for complete corrosion protection without losing its flexibility.
