SURFACE PREPARATION:
All surfaces must be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease,
wax, polish, mold and mildew stains, loose and peeling
paint, rust and all other foreign substances.
New Drywall: All drywall surfaces should be suciently
sanded smooth. Remove any remaining drywall dust prior
to priming. Allow all drywall compounds to be completely
dry prior to coating. Previously Painted Drywall: Remove
all loose and peeling paint and all other foreign substances.
Clean any dirt and grease by scrubbing the surface with
a detergent and water solution, followed by a thorough
rinsing with clean water. Set nails and ll holes, scratches,
and gouges with the appropriate spackling material. Let dry
completely and sand smooth. Remove all dust with a wiping
cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized, paintable
caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to coating.
Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, sand the surface
thoroughly before coating.
New Wood: Remove mill glaze with sandpaper. Set nails and
ll holes, scratches, and gouges with the appropriate wood
ller and let dry completely. Remove all dust with a wiping
cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized, paintable
caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to coating.
Previously Painted Wood: Remove all loose and peeling
paint and all other foreign substances. Clean any dirt and
grease by scrubbing the surface with a detergent and water
solution, followed by a thorough rinsing with clean water.
Set nails and ll holes, scratches, and gouges with the
appropriate wood ller and let dry completely.
Remove all dust with a tack or wiping cloth. Fill all
gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized, paintable
caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to coating.
Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, sand the
surface thoroughly before coating.
Wood: WARNING! Sanding or scraping pressure treated
lumber may be hazardous; wear appropriate protection.
New Plaster: New plaster should be thoroughly dried
out and cured for a minimum of 30 days before painting.
When cured, clean using a mixed solution of one part
vinegar and one part water to remove eorescence and
neutralize. Previously Painted Plaster: Remove all
loose and peeling paint and all other foreign substances.
Clean any dirt and grease by scrubbing the surface with
a detergent and water solution, followed by a thorough
rinsing with clean water. Set nails and ll holes, scratches,
and gouges with the appropriate spackling material. Let dry
completely and sand smooth. Remove all dust with a tack
or wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized,
paintable caulking, and allow to completely
dry prior to coating. Glossy Surfaces: For maximum
adhesion, sand the surface thoroughly before coating.
Stainblocking: After priming, test for stain bleed-through.
If the stain bleeds through the topcoat, apply a second coat
of primer and test again before top-coating the entire area.
If bleeding continues, a longer dry time of the primer may be
needed before top-coating.
Masonry: All masonry surfaces must be cured at least
30 days before painting. The pH must be 10.0 or lower
prior to coating. Smooth masonry may require an adequate
prole for adhesion. For all other smooth trowel concrete,
create a prole using a concrete etcher.
Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metal: The oil lm on new
galvanized metal must be removed before it is painted.
Remove oil lm with a detergent and water solution.
For better paint adhesion, sand the surface with sandpaper,
steel wool, or by using a product with muriatic acid.
Clean, by scrubbing the surface with a detergent and water
solution, followed by a thorough rinsing with clean water.
