Surface Preparation Thoroughly degrease your workspace and the application surface. Wipe down metal surfaces completely using 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol to clear away hidden body oils, grease, and carbon buildup. Note: For absolute maximum corrosion resistance and finish consistency on bare metals, always apply an initial coat of RAPCO military primer. 2. Shaking & Priming the Can Alkyd paint contains high levels of flattening agents that settle quickly. Aerosol cans must be shaken vigorously for 2 to 3 minutesimmediately after you hear the internal mixing ball begin to rattle 3. Spraying Technique Do not panic during application: RAPCO paint naturally applies heavy and glossy at first. Allow the formula to sit. It takes roughly 24 to 48 hours for the binders to fully level, flatten out, and drop into its true matte finish. Wait 1 to 2 hours between coats until the surface is completely dry to the touch. If it feels sticky or tacky, grant it more time. 4. Curing Timeline 24 Hours: Safe for basic handling or carefully peeling off camo stencils. 1 Week: Full chemical cure. Wait a full 7 days before applying gun oils, heavy lubricants, or subjecting the surface to rough field wear.
