Choosing paint preparation products
+ Read More − Read Less
Cleaner, thinner or stripper
A wax and grease remover cleans a surface, a thinner adjusts paint, and a stripper removes existing coatings. They are not substitutes for one another, so choose by the step you are at.
Match thinners to your paint
Different thinners are intended for different paint types, such as acrylic or multi-purpose use. Check the paint maker's guidance on which thinner suits the product you are using.
Masking and surface care
Masking tapes vary in width and intended use, so consider the edges you need to protect. Always check the intended surface and the paint or stripper you will use alongside it.
