Area Preparation:
Surface must be clean and dry. Remove all loose, peeling paint, dirt, grease, and any other
surface contaminants. Putty all nail holes and caulk all cracks and open seams. Sand all glossy, rough, and patched surfaces. Plaster, concrete, and masonry surfaces must be completely dry, free of efflorescence, and allowed to cure for 30 days prior to painting. When applied to an uncoated substrate or to bare wood, two coats are required with the first coat acting as the primer. Uncoated substrates, repaired surfaces, or lightly stained areas may require additional coats. For severe stains, water marks, and other challenging conditions, such as bare metal or chalky surfaces, use an appropriate specialty primer.
Application:
Stir thoroughly. Apply with a high-quality brush, roller (nap size – 3/8" for smooth surfaces and up
to 3/4" for rough or textured surfaces), paint pad, or by spray equipment. For airless spray application, use tip size .015" to .021" and pressure range of 1500 to 2000 psi. When using more than one container of the same color, intermix to ensure color uniformity. Do not thin.
Application Temperature:
Stir thoroughly before and occasionally during use. When using more than one can of the same color, intermix to ensure color uniformity.
Application Method: Apply with a high quality brush, roller, paint pad, or by spray equipment. Where necessary, apply a second coat. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next coat.
Application Equipment: For smooth surfaces, use a polyester nylon brush or 3/16” - 3/8” nap roller cover. For textured surfaces, use a nylon brush or roller designed for this purpose. If applied by spray, back-brushing or back-rolling is recommended. For airless spray application, use tip size 0.015” - 0.021” and pressure range of 1500 - 2000 psi.
Thinning: DO NOT THIN.
Drying Time:
Apply only when air, product, and surface temperatures are between
50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C).
Coverage:
One gallon will cover about 300-400 sq ft (28-37 sq. meters) per U.S. gallon (3.78L) on primed, smooth non-porous surfaces. Actual coverage may vary depending on surface texture, porosity and application method. Deeper shades of yellow, orange, pink, red and other colors may require multiple coats. Thinning is not recommended.
Cleanup:
Clean tools with warm, soapy water.
Recommended Substrates:
Ideal for use on properly prepared, interior walls, ceilings, or trim composed of new or previously
painted drywall, plaster, masonry, wood, and metal.
Warning:
Please refer to the Product Label, Technical Data Sheet (TDS) or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for safety and detailed application instructions.
