Painting Specications
DiversiTech recommends any 100% acrylic latex or 100% acrylic latex with a urethane additive
when painting SpeediChannel products. The reason for this recommendation is because of the
paint’s flexibility. Lacquers are not recommended with PVC products because lacquers are more
brittle and won’t flex with the channel. Some suggestions: Duration by Sherwin Williams, Manor
Hall paints by PPG and Moorelife by Benjamin Moore. In addition to paint type, only light-to-
medium colored paints (Light Reflectance Value of 55% units or greater) should be applied to
SpeediChannel or most any exterior PVC products. Light Reflectance Value (LRV) is a measure
-
ment that indicates how much light a color reflects. An LRV of 0% is absolute black and an LRV
of 100% is perfectly reflective white. LRV is on the back of most color swatches and in the index
of all major brands’ fandecks. It is not safe to assume the paint is a light color. Some paints that
appear light beige can have an LRV in the 20s or 30s.
