PREPARATION & PRIME
• All surfaces should be properly prepared and cleaned.
• Remove loose paint, wash off dirt and grease with detergent, rinse
and allow to dry.
• Remove mildew stains with a mildew stain removing product.
• Scuff sand glossy surfaces and repair imperfections.
• Remove all dust with a damp cloth, allow to dry.
• Allow new stucco, plaster and masonry to cure for 30 days

• Use BEHR ULTRA

Stain-Blocking Ceiling Paint as a primer for properly
prepared uncoated or painted interior ceiling surfaces.
• Lock in stains with BEHR ULTRA Paint as a spot primer.
• For heavy stains, test for stain bleed-through by applying BEHR ULTRA
Stain-Blocking Ceiling Paint to a small section. If stain bleeds through,
spot prime another coat to the stained area and test again before
topcoating. If bleeding continues, a longer dry time is needed before
topcoating.
• For drastic color changes, apply a primer coat of BEHR ULTRA

APPLICATION

thinning is required, thin with water at a rate of no more than 1/2 pint
per gallon.
• Popcorn style acoustic ceilings; use acoustic ceiling roller cover (1/2 –
3/4" nap) or airless sprayer (.015 – .019" spray tip, 60 mesh filter).
• Multiple coats may be required to complete hide.
• Darker colors may require additional dry time between coats.
