PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS

Caution

Focal Point polyurethane products ship from the factory with a UV blocking primer

paint. If during the course of installation, the original primed surface is damaged or

additional exposed areas are created, spackle, sand and touched up the area and

re-prime the affected areas with a suitable UV blocker primer.

Step One

Fill screw or nail holes using a vinyl spackle or plastic ﬁ ller.

Step Two

Clean the item to make sure it is free of dirt, grease, peeling paint and debris using

a water based cleaner, ammonia or isopropyl alcohol. (Cleaning agents

containing hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits will leave behind a residue that

water based paint will not be able to dissolve or adhere to.)

Step Three

Paint with a high quality latex or oil-based paint for a smooth solid ﬁ nish. If you are

preparing a faux ﬁ nish, including wood grain, use a non-penetrating glazing stain or

paint. DO NOT use lacquer based paint products on Focal Point products.

Note: All polyurethane products are subject to thermal expansion and contraction

and therefore should not be painted in darker colors that absorb more radiation than

lighter colors. Flat, eggshell and satin ﬁ nishes are recommended because they are

more porous during the curing process. Apply paint according to the manufacturer’s

instructions.

NOTE: A finish coat of

paint must be applied

to all products or the

limited life-time

warranty is void.
