Mipa Quick paint stripper and Mipa Paint Stripper Spray help remove old paint where the existing layer is too weak or too thick to keep.
Guided antique metal restoration
Antique metal items often have old paint, rust, delicate edges and mixed surface condition. The safest result starts with controlled cleaning, careful sanding and the right primer before colour.
Mipa Quick paint stripper and Mipa Paint Stripper Spray help remove old paint where the existing layer is too weak or too thick to keep.
Mipa Rust Sealant SMP is used on prepared rust affected areas after loose corrosion and failed coating have been removed.
Mipa silicone remover in liquid or spray format removes grease, wax and handling residue before sanding, priming or topcoating.
MP Sanding Sponge helps work around curves, raised details and edges without making the surface too aggressive.
Mipa Metal Primer Grey approx. RAL 7032 chromate-free and Mipa 1K Epoxy Primer Spray provide primer options for larger areas and small detailed spots.
Mipalin Synthetic Resin Topcoat gives the restored item its final colour finish after the metal has been prepared and primed.
Check which paint is sound, which rust is loose and which details need careful hand preparation before any stripping work starts.
Use stripper where old paint must be removed, then clean away residue completely before sanding and primer work.
Remove loose rust, use Mipa Rust Sealant SMP on prepared affected spots and prime exposed metal before colour.
Apply Mipalin Synthetic Resin Topcoat in controlled coats so detail edges stay visible and the item does not look overloaded.
Allow the coating to harden before polishing, displaying or reinstalling the restored piece.
Keep stable old coating, sand it smooth and only strip areas that are failing or too thick.
Mipa Metal Primer suits larger prepared metal areas, while Mipa 1K Epoxy Primer Spray suits small details and spot repairs.
A controlled Mipalin topcoat protects the item without hiding fine edges and decorative shape.
Work on one small area first. Antique metal can hide weak solder, old filler, thin edges or unknown coatings under the visible paint.
