What is a Paint Preparation System?

A paint preparation system refers to the complete set of steps, tools, and materials used to prepare a surface before painting. This includes:

• Surface cleaning and degreasing
• Sanding and smoothing
• Filling and priming
• Dust and moisture control

Importance of a Proper Paint Preparation System

• Improves paint adhesion while also preventing potential peeling
• Reduces defects like fisheyes, orange peel, and bubbling
