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.
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.
Wood: Remove mill glaze with sandpaper or use a product
such as BEHR PREMIUM® All-In-One Wood Cleaner No. 63
(exterior only) to open the pores of the wood and follow
all label instructions. For severe stains caused by mold,
mildew, algae and fungus, apply a mildew stain removing
product. Set nails and ll holes, scratches, and gouges with
the appropriate patching material and let dry completely.
Remove all dust with a wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a
100% acrylic, siliconized, paintable caulking and allow
to dry completely. Patched and lled surfaces should
be sanded smooth and dusted clean prior to coating.
WARNING! Sanding or scraping pressure treated lumber
may be hazardous; wear appropriate protection.
Masonry: The pH must be 10 or lower prior to coating.
Smooth masonry may require an adequate prole for
adhesion. For all other smooth trowel concrete, create
an adequate prole for adhesion using a product such as
muriatic acid etcher or with mechanical means. Remove all
loose aggregate and debris. Prime with an alkali-resistant
primer.
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.
Prime with an alkali-resistant primer.
Steel: Minimum surface preparation is Hand Tool Cleaning
in accordance with SSPC-SP2. Remove all oil and grease
from the surface with a solvent in accordance with SSPCSP1.
For optimal performance, use Commercial Blast Cleaning
in accordance with SSPC-SP6. Prime the area with a rust-
inhibitive primer the same day as cleaned.
Galvanized Steel: Solvent clean new galvanized metal in
accordance with SSPC-SP1 to remove oil and grease from
the surface. Pre-treat with a phosphoric acid solution or
a commercially-available etching solution. Galvanized
metal that has been passivated with chromates or silicates
may require brush blasting in accordance with SSPC-SP16
to remove these treatments. Rusty galvanizing requires
a minimum of Hand Tool Cleaning in accordance with
SSPCSP2. Prime the area the same day as cleaned.
Shop-Primed Steel: As there is potential for many forms
of contamination during storage and transport, a thorough
cleaning is always recommended for shop-primed surfaces.
Paint exposed areas, i.e., where shop primer is abraded,
with the same material as used for shop priming to comply
with SSPC-PA 1 for touching up shop-primed surfaces. Note:
Assess the integrity of the shop primer prior to application
of subsequent coatings. Review all coatings intended for the
project and conrm the compatibility between shop and
eld-applied coatings.
Aluminum: Remove all oil and grease from the surface with
a solvent in accordance with SSPC-SP1. Prime the area the
same day as cleaned.
Stain-Blocking: After priming, test for stain bleed-through
by applying the topcoat to a small section. 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 prior to applying
topcoat.
