WHERE TO USE
BEHR Chalk Decorative Paint can be applied over most existing
finishes with little surface preparation. Apply to old or new wood,
cast stone, concrete, or even metal surfaces
†
.
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. For maximum adhesion, scuff sand
glossy surfaces thoroughly before coating. Remove all dust with
a damp cloth and allow to dry.
PRIME
Use BEHR Chalk Decorative Paint on properly prepared uncoated
or painted interior surfaces. For wood that contains tannins, such
as Redwood and Cedar, a coat of primer such as BEHR PREMIUM
PLUS
®
Multi-Surface Primer & Sealer No. 436 is recommended.
†
For improved adhesion, prime all uncoated metal, cast stone
and concrete surfaces before painting.
APPLICATION
Shake the container thoroughly before opening for application.
Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90° F
(10-32° C). Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers of same
product to ensure color and sheen uniformity. Use a high quality
foam or 3/8-1/2" nap roller cover or nylon/polyester brush.
This product is formulated to be rich and concentrated to provide
excellent hide and coverage. If you find this product to be too
thick, add up to 2 oz. of water per quart to thin it to the desired
thickness for smooth and easy application. Certain colors may
require more than one coat for complete hide. Darker colors may
require additional dry time between coats. Cooler temperatures
or higher humidity may prolong drying time.
DISPOSAL
For disposal of empty containers, unused paint and soiled rags,
contact your household refuse collection service.

PROTECTION AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
To avoid breathing vapors and spray mist, open windows and doors or use other means
to ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering,
headaches or dizziness, increase fresh air. If properly used, a respirator (NIOSH approved for
organic vapor with P series particulate pre-filter) may offer additional protection; obtain
professional advice before using. A dust mask does not provide protection against vapors.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wash thoroughly after handling. Close container after each
use. FIRST AID: If you experience difficulty in breathing, leave the area to obtain fresh air.
If continued difficulty is experienced, get medical assistance immediately. In case of eye
contact, flush immediately with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes and get medical
attention; for skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If swallowed, get medical
attention immediately.
