Metal substrates. Proceed with a thorough degreasing, washing and sanding of the surface. Apply a base coat such as ELIPRIMER. Overpaint with 2 coats of CONTENDER ELICHE respecting the recommended overpainting times. 

Supports already painted. If the old paint is in good condition and compatible, apply directly after sanding 2 coats of CONTENDER ELICHE. If the old varnish is in bad condition, proceed with its complete removal; then follow the instructions for unpainted substrates.
