PREPARATION
All surfaces should be properly prepared and cleaned.
Remove loose paint, wash off dirt and grease with detergent,
rinse and allow to dry. Remove mildew stains with a mildew
stain removing product. 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.
PRIME
Use BEHR PREMIUM PLUS
®
Paint as a primer over properly
prepared coated or uncoated surfaces. For stain-blocking,
or over oil-based or glossy surfaces, use a product such as
BEHR
®
KITCHEN, BATH & TRIM STAIN-BLOCKING PRIMER &
SEALER No. 75. For optimal color development, better hide,
and to reduce the number of topcoats with deep colors denoted
with a dagger (†) on the color chip, apply a custom tinted primer
coat of BEHR PREMIUM PLUS Paint. Prime all metal surfaces
before painting.
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 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. Certain
colors may require more than one coat for complete hide. 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.
DISPOSAL
For disposal of empty containers, unused paint and soiled rags, contact
your household refuse collection service.
