WHERE TO USE
Properly prepared coated and uncoated Interior surfaces. Ideal for Family
Rooms, Living Rooms, Dining Rooms, Bedrooms, Hallways and Ceilings.
PREPARATION & PRIME
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 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 ULTRA
®
Paint as a primer for
properly prepared uncoated or painted interior surfaces, including
woods that contain tannins (two primer coats required for redwood and
cedar) and heavily stained areas. Lock in stains with BEHR ULTRA Paint
as a spot primer. For heavy stains, test for stain bleed-through by
applying BEHR ULTRA Paint to a small section. If the stain bleeds
through, spot prime another coat to the stained area and test again
before topcoating. If bleeding continues, a longer dry time is needed
before topcoating. For drastic color changes or when applying deep
colors denoted with a dagger (†) on the color chip, apply a tinted
primer coat of BEHR ULTRA Paint if needed.
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.
Certain colors may require additional coats 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. Do not use on floors.
DISPOSAL
For disposal of empty containers, unused paint and soiled rags, contact your
household refuse collection service.
