lap marks, properly orient the metallic paint particles,
and ensure a uniform surface.
Spraying: To spray Matte Metallic Paints, thin as
needed. Thin carefully, as over thinning of the paint will
result in loss of hide and a reduction of the desired
appearance. Use an HVLP gun or a conventional cup
gun with the fluid and air supply from a pressure pot
and compressor. Air pressure at the HVLP spray gun
needs to be approximately 45 psi, with greater
pressures at the tank, approximately 60 psi. Examples:
Binks- Mach 1 HVLP, with a 94-nozzle set up (0.55 or
1.4mm diameter fluid tip and a 90P air nozzle). The
settings for this equipment were: Fluid Pressure-25psi
and Air Pressure-45psi.Binks- 2001 Conventional,
with a 66SS air nozzle set up (0.70 or 1.8 fluid tips and
a 66SD air nozzle). The settings for this equipment
were: Fluid Pressure-30psi and Air Pressure-60psi. Use
a NIOSH approved respirator when spraying. Provide
adequate ventilation. Note: Do not use turbine-type
“air compressors” to power the HVLP spray gun
and do not use airless spray systems.
Taping – Use high quality, low-tack tape when taping
over surfaces that have been previously painted with
Matte Metallic Paint. When painting over taped-off
areas be aware that Matte Metallic Paints exhibit poor
early adhesion properties and are elastomeric (They
stretch) during curing. Because of these two factors
consider cutting along the tape edge with a razor blade
to avoid delaminating the fresh paint from the substrate.
Tinting – All Matte Metallic Colors can be intermixed
to create custom colors.
Dry Times – Recoat time is approximately ½ hour.
Dry-to-touch time is approximately an hour. (Drying
times were recorded at 70°F and 50%RH): Note: Lower
temperature and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry
and cure times.
Coverage – One gallon/3.78 liters will cover
approximately 320 to 400 square feet/29.7 to 37.1
square meters. Minimum of two coats are
recommended. Some colors require three coats.
Clean Up – Clean brushes, rollers, tool, and equipment
with soap and warm water immediately after use. Do
not reuse containers and properly dispose of empty
containers.
Material VOC – Matte Metallic Paints are compliant
under SCAQMD Rule 1113, under the Faux Finish
Category and contain <350 grams per liter of VOC,
regulatory measurement. The VOC content for each
color is available upon request. Matte Metallic Paints
contain No Hazardous Air Pollutants. This product can
only be sold or used as part of a Faux Finishing coating
system.
Handling & Storage – Close tightly all containers when
not in use. Store in a cool dry place away from direct
sunlight. Do not freeze. If Matte Metallic Paints become
frozen, allow the paint to completely thaw and come to
room temperature before use. Stir thoroughly before
use.
Disposal – Dispose of unused or unwanted product in
accordance with local laws regulating water-based
coatings.
Health & Safety – Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid
contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly with soap
and warm water after use. Do not take internally.
When spraying or sanding, use a properly-fitting,
NIOSH approved respirator per the manufacturer’s
instructions. 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,
find out how to protect yourself and your family by
contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-
800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead
Skin contact: Thoroughly wash with soap and warm
water before the coating dries. Individuals with
sensitive skin may require gloves.
Eye contact: Rinse with clean water for 15 minutes.
Seek medical attention.
Inhalation: To help prevent irritation, use only in well-
ventilated areas. If irritation occurs, move to fresh air.
If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical
attention.
