	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Amweld's prime paint is formulated to give maximum protection. It is important that compatible materials be used in the final or finish coat of paint. Painter should test a small section of door or frame if in doubt as to compatibility. Certain finish coat materials are not recommended; consult the manufacturer. . When repriming surfaces from which Amweld's factory primer has been removed, use a general purpose rust inhibitor primer. . If necessary to add a field coat of finish paint to factory finished doors or frames, sand for better adhesion and prime any bare metal. Due to the many types of paint available, painter should test a small area with a coating before proceeding.
		E.	Finish exposed field welds to present a smooth uniform surface; touch-up with rust inhibitive primer.
		F.	Touch-up exposed surfaces scratched or marred during shipment, installation, or handling and field prime scratches or bare edges with a rust inhibitive primer.
