Ultra-Hide Zero 1600-0100 Series
PPG Ultra-Hide Zero Interior Latex Paint
GENERAL SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be clean and dry. Remove all loose, peeling paint, dirt, grease, and any other surface contaminants. Putty all nail holes and caulk
all cracks and open seams. Sand all glossy, rough and patched surfaces. Plaster, concrete and masonry surfaces must be completely dry, free of
efflorescence and allowed to cure for 30 days prior to painting. Prime all bare wood, drywall, plaster, masonry, metal and porous surfaces with an
appropriate primer.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust or fumes. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST OR
FUMES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO
AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a properly fitted NIOSH-approved respirator and prevent skin contact 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 USEPA National Lead
Information Hotline at 1‑800‑424‑LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead. Follow these instructions to control exposure to other hazardous sub-
stances that may be released during surface preparation.
CONCRETE: New concrete should cure for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to priming and painting. The pH of the substrate must
be less than 10 before priming with an alkali resistant primer.
CONCRETE/MASONRY BLOCK: Mortar should cure for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to priming. Fill block with an appropriate
block filler. Surfaces previously coated with water thinned cement-based paint must be prepared with extra care. If the material appears to be
adhering tightly, a masonry sealer may be applied to seal the surface. Check adhesion by applying a piece of masking tape. If the sealer peels
off and has loose particles, remove all chalking or crumbling material, re-seal and re-check adhesion.
FERROUS METAL: The surface must be cleaned thoroughly to remove any dust, rust, and surface contaminants, and then primed.
GYPSUM WALLBOARD-DRYWALL: Nails or screws should be countersunk, and they along with any indentations should be mudded flush with
the surface, sanded smooth and cleaned to remove any dust, then prime prior to painting the substrate.
PLASTER: Plaster, hardcoat, skim coat, or other alkaline surfaces should be allowed to cure for at least 30 days prior to priming with an alkali
resistant primer.
WOOD: Unpainted wood or wood in poor condition should be sanded smooth, wiped clean. Any knots or resinous areas must be primed before
painting. Countersink all nails, putty flush with surface, then prime.
