BEHR MARQUEE
®
Stain-Blocking Paint & Primer delivers remarkable dirt and fade
resistance for your Exterior. Your home will look freshly painted longer,
even under the most challenging weather conditions.
WHERE TO USE
Protection for Wood, Vinyl, Aluminum, Fiber Cement Siding, Metals, Steel,
Brick, Masonry, Stucco and Fences.
PREPARATION & PRIME
Use on properly prepared and cleaned coated and uncoated Exterior
surfaces. Countersink nailheads, fill and sand smooth. Remove rust, loose
or peeling paint. Repair imperfections and sand smooth. Wash off dirt,
grease and chalk with detergent and/or powerwash. Remove mildew
stains with a mildew stain removing product. Clean and sand new or
weathered wood. Scuff sand or degloss smooth or glossy surfaces.
Scuff sand or etch metals. Rinse and allow to dry. Caulk windows, doors
and other openings. Allow new stucco, plaster and masonry to cure for
30 days before painting. Use BEHR MARQUEE Paint as a primer for
repaired or uncoated surfaces, including woods that contain tannins and
heavily stained areas (two primer coats required for redwood and cedar).
Lock in stains with the first primer coat; if necessary, apply a second
primer coat of BEHR MARQUEE. On heavy stains and woods that contain
tannins, allow 12-16 hours of dry time between coats. For drastic color
changes or when applying deep colors denoted with a dagger (†) on the
color chip, apply a tinted primer coat of BEHR MARQUEE, if needed.
APPLICATION
Apply product on dry substrates when air and surface temperatures are
between 35°-90° F (2°-32° C) and will remain between 35°-90° F
(2°-32° C) for at least 4 hours after applying. Allow paint film to dry for at
least 60 minutes prior to rain showers when temperatures are
between 60°-70° F (15°-21° C) and 60-70% relative humidity.
Lower temperatures, higher humidity or deep colors may increase
dry time and/or rain resistance time. Stir paint occasionally.
Intermix containers of same product to ensure color and sheen uniformity.
On semi-smooth surfaces, use a high quality 3/8-1/2" nap roller cover,
nylon/polyester brush or an airless sprayer (.015 -.021" spray tip,
60 mesh filter). On rough surfaces, use a high quality 3/4-1" nap roller
cover. 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. After 4 weeks, cured paint film may be cleaned with a mild,
non-abrasive liquid detergent. Dry paint film is mildew resistant.
When applying to vinyl, color choice must be the same color or lighter
than the existing color. Do not use on floors.
DISPOSAL
For disposal of empty containers, unused paint and soiled rags, contact
your household refuse collection service.
