SURFACE PREPARATION:
All surfaces must be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease,
wax, polish, mold and mildew stains, loose and peeling
paint, rust and all other foreign substances.
New Drywall: All drywall surfaces should be suciently
sanded smooth. Remove any remaining drywall dust prior to
priming. Allow all drywall compounds to be completely dry
prior to coating.
New Wood: Remove mill glaze with sandpaper or use a
product such as BEHR PREMIUM® All-In-One Wood Cleaner
No. 63 to open the pores of the wood and follow all label
instructions. For severe stains caused by mold, mildew,
algae and fungus, apply a mildew stain removing product.
Set nails and ll holes, scratches, and gouges with the
appropriate wood ller and let dry completely. Remove all
dust with a wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic,
siliconized, paintable caulking and allow to dry completely.
Patched and lled surfaces should be sanded smooth and
dusted clean prior to coating.
New Masonry: The pH must be 10 or lower prior to
coating. Smooth masonry may require an adequate prole
for adhesion. For all other smooth trowel concrete, create
an adequate prole for adhesion using a product such as
muriatic acid etcher or with mechanical means. Remove all
loose aggregate and debris. Prime the area with an alkali-
resistant primer.
New Plaster: New plaster should be thoroughly dried out
and cured for a minimum of 30 days before painting. When
cured, clean using a mixed solution of one part vinegar
and one part water to remove eorescence and neutralize.
Prime the area with an alkali-resistant primer.
Stain-Blocking: After priming, test for stain bleed-through
by applying the topcoat to a small section. If the stain bleeds
through the topcoat, apply a second coat of primer and
test again before topcoating the entire area. If bleeding
continues, primer may need a longer dry time before
applying topcoat.
Previously Painted Surfaces: Remove all loose and
peeling paint and all other foreign substances. Clean any
dirt and grease by scrubbing the surface with a detergent
and water solution, followed by a thorough rinsing with
clean water. Set nails and ll holes, scratches, and gouges
with the appropriate wood ller and let dry completely.
Remove all dust with a tack or wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with
a 100% acrylic, siliconized, paintable caulking, and allow to
completely dry prior to coating.
Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, sand the surface
thoroughly to provide a rough surface before coating.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you
may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD
DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE,
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD
ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator
to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, nd out how to
protect yourself and your family by contacting the National
Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to
