coverage may vary depending on substrate and application method. 
Deeper shades of yellow, orange, pink, red and other colors may 
require multiple coats. 
APPLICATION: Mix thoroughly before use. May be applied by 
brush, roller or airless spray. Standard roller application should be 
used for best results. No thinning required. For airless spray, use a 
.015”-.019” tip at 2000 psi, adjust pressure as needed. For best 
touch-up results with airless spray, backroll airless spray area and 
touch-up with a standard roller. Application by conventional spray is 
not recommended. Two coats are required for new and uncoated 
surfaces. An additional coat may be necessary for dramatic color 
changes, dark colors or over rough surfaces for optimal appearance 
and hide. Do not apply when the surface or air temperature is below 
50ºF (10ºC). Provide good ventilation and warmth for normal drying. 
DRYING TIME: At 77ºF (25ºC) and 50% R.H., dries to touch in 30-
60 minutes and to recoat in four hours. Low temperature, high 
humidity, thick films or poor ventilation will increase these times. 
CLEAN-UP: Clean hands and tools immediately with warm, soapy 
water. Clean spills right away with a damp cloth.
