Paint Adhesion
Proper surface preparation ensures paint bonds correctly to the substrate, preventing peeling and flaking.
Longevity
Well-prepared surfaces help paint last longer, reducing the need for frequent repainting and maintenance.
Finish Quality
Clean, smooth surfaces provide the foundation for a professional-looking, uniform paint finish.
