Painting with the Gradient security master-forms

The master-formsare sold in sets, made of 0.25mm sheet metal, and can be used to paint on various surfaces. Painting is made in steps clearly described in the included instructions, starting with the background and ending with the symbols. We recommend using spray can paints which are easy to use and offer good quality. The master-forms are very durable so the same forms can be used to print numerous times. The elasticity of the relatively thin sheet metal allows to paint on cylindrical pillars.

Custom designs master-forms can be made for specific applications.

1. SURFACE PREPARING AND PAINTING TIPS: To obtain a durable paint, the surface to be painted must be well prepared. Clean thoroughly any impurity and old layers of paint then polish with sandpaper. In case of painting on sheet meal a primer should be used first. The surface must be smooth and clean prior to painting. In case of spray can paint, shake well at least 20 seconds prior to usage. Apply paint in short burst of 0.5s from a distance about 20-30cm such as to avoid dripping. The environment temperature should be between 10 and 35C.

2. PAINTING

imagine

a. Install the background master-form on the target surface ensuring that perfect contact is made. Spray paint through the master-form the yellow background color of the sign. Carefuly lift the master-form and check paint is even.

b. When the background paint has cured, apply the image and text master-form carefully aligning it with the background (use the background triangle for a reference). Spray paint with black.

c. When done painting clean the master-forms with paint thinner so they are ready to be used again.

 

Store the master-forms in the cardboard box they were originally packaged to prevent damage.
