How do I prepare a surface before applying Motor Coater Engine Paint?

For best results, clean the surface with KBS Klean and etch it with RustBlast before applying Motor Coater. For surfaces prone to rusting or that are pitted and coarse, apply RustSeal first — it will smooth out the surface and prevent rust under the Motor Coater finish coat. Be sure to review the Motor Coater Application Directions before beginning your project.
