.APPLICATION .
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open
garage. Use when temperatures are between 50-90ºF (10-
32ºC) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying.
Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover
surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION
For new plastic surfaces, thoroughly wipe down surface
with paint thinner to promote adhesion. For aged or
weathered surfaces, remove loose material with a brush or
scraper, clean with soap and water, rinse and let dry.
Sanding may be required for glossy or smooth surfaces. If
mildew is present, wash with a bleach solution, rinse and
let dry.
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 DAMGE, 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
U.S.EPA/Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or
log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
