BEHR MARQUEE
™
Interior Eggshell Enamel
BEHR MARQUEE™ Stain-Blocking Paint & Primer is our best interior paint,
with exceptional hide and stain resistance plus an Exclusive MARQUEE
Interior One-Coat Color Collection.
WHERE TO USE
Ideal for every room and delivers a soft, velvety appearance.
PREPARATION & PRIME
Properly prepare and clean all surfaces. Remove loose paint, wash off
dirt and grease with detergent, rinse and allow to dry. Remove mildew
stains with a mildew stain remover. Scuff sand glossy surfaces and repair
imperfections. Remove all dust with a damp cloth, allow to dry. Allow new
stucco, plaster and masonry to cure for 30 days before painting.
Use BEHR MARQUEE paint as a primer for uncoated, porous or repaired
interior surfaces, including woods that contain tannins (two primer coats
required for redwood and cedar). Lock in stains with BEHR MARQUEE as
a spot primer. For heavy stains, test for stain bleed-through by applying
BEHR MARQUEE to a small section. If the stain bleeds through, spot prime
with another coat to the stained area and test again before topcoating. If
bleeding continues, a longer dry time is needed before topcoating.
APPLICATION
Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90° F
(10-32° C). Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers of same product to
ensure color and sheen uniformity. Use a high quality 3/8-1/2" nap roller
cover, nylon/polyester brush or an airless sprayer (.015 - .019" spray tip,
60 mesh filter). Do not thin if using a roller or brush; however, if using a
sprayer and thinning is required, thin with water at a rate of no more than
1/2 pint per gallon. Fully saturate roller for best coverage. Untinted ULTRA
PURE WHITE and colors outside of the MARQUEE Interior One-Coat Color
Collection may require more than one coat to achieve complete hide and
a uniform finish. Darker colors may require additional dry time between
coats. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity may prolong drying time.
After 4 weeks, cured paint film may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive
liquid detergent. Dry paint film is mildew resistant. Do not use on floors.
DISPOSAL
For disposal of empty containers, unused paint and soiled rags, contact
