The number of coats and film thickness required are the same regardless of application method. Do not apply succeeding coats until previous coat has cured as recommended by manufacturer. If sanding is required to produce a smooth, even surface according to manufacturer’s written instructions, sand between applications. 2. Omit primer over metal surfaces that are sound with no visible rust, chipping or flaking. Spot priming of damaged or rusting area is required. 3. If undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through final coat of paint, apply additional coats until paint film is of uniform finish, color, and appearance.
