Protect your paint work
Surface preparation tip
If the surface is cracked and peeling, remove the paint completely then clean with Selleys® Sugar Soap and rinse thoroughly. Wait for the surface to completely dry.
Note: Review if you require Dulux PRECISION® Anti Graffiti Primer. Primer will need to be applied If the surface is glossy, tiled, metal, Colorbond®, glass or powder coated. Wait one hour until the surface is touch-dry before proceeding to the next step. Applying the coating directly to bare or unpainted surfaces will be permanent, so where you may wish to remove the coating at a later stage, you will need to apply a clear coating such as Berger Jet Dry® Natural Stone & Paving Sealer.
Preparation and Application
1. Surface preparation
For a surface in good condition, brush it down to remove all dust, grease, oil and spider webs, then clean with Selleys® Original Sugar Soap and rinse thoroughly. Wait for the surface to completely dry.
2. Product preparation
Place a drop sheet to protect the ground from spills. Put on safety glasses and gloves. Poor contents pour the coating into a clean container and reseal the cap on the can. Make sure you use within an hour of pouring.
3. Application
Cut in, where required, around the edges with a brush then use the roller or paint sprayer to fill between the borders while wet. Wait one hour until touch-dry before applying a second coat. The surface will be graffiti-resistant in 12 hours and fully cured in 24 hours.
4. Clean up
Clean equipment with mineral turpentine. Dispose of the roller and brushes after application. Used brushes and rollers cannot be recovered after using this paint system. Check with your local council about responsible paint disposal or visit www.paintback.com.au
Removing graffiti
Graffiti removal
If your surface has been affected by graffiti, use a high-pressure water hose, using a fan spray only (900-1450psi) to remove aerosol paints from a distance of 15-30cm. A distance less than this may cause abrasion.
Stubborn marks
Remove any stubborn marks, such as permanent markers, with Selleys® Muck Off and followed by the same high-pressure water wash.

The surface must be absolutely dry and free from contaminants including grease, oil, dirt and other loosely bound or coloured materials. To prepare, wash with Selleys® Original Sugar Soap and scrub thoroughly to remove all surface residue then wash very well to remove all traces of surface contaminants and Selleys® Original Sugar Soap. Allow to dry completely. If your surface is glossy, metal, glass or powder coated you will need to apply Dulux PRECISION® Anti Graffiti Wash Primer. This is available in a one-litre size only.
Two coats are required on all surfaces. For very rough and textured surfaces a third coat may be required. Be sure to coat the entire surface. The coating needs to get into ALL small pits and holes in the surface. If it is missing from any areas it cannot provide full protection. Therefore, it is important to ensure that you obtain full coverage on highly textured surfaces.
Allow 60 minutes for coating to dry between coats. Avoid touching within 60 minutes.
Due to the nature of the coating, rollers and brushes cannot be cleaned so it is necessary to dispose of roller sleeves and brushes after application. Between coats wrap brushes and rollers in aluminium foil to stop air from getting to the coating. Cover roller trays or containers with foil and seal well. Clean all equipment with mineral turpentine (other than brushes and rollers).
Allow 12 hours before the surface is fully graffiti resistant.
Use a high-pressure water wash (900-1450 psi) to remove aerosol paints. Using a fan spray ONLY from a distance of 150-300mm.
Stubborn black/dark stains that remain after washing, such as permanent markers, can be removed by first spraying with Selleys® Muck Off and then high-pressure water wash.
Dulux PRECISION® Anti Graffiti Coating has been developed to resist ALL paint and marker products. Paints that are applied to the surface can be easily removed. Therefore you cannot paint over Dulux PRECISION® Anti Graffiti Coating with anything other than itself.
