Use and Care Manual
Jeff Lewis Color Flat is a high quality interior, ultra-low
VOC, acrylic latex flat paint designed for use on walls,
ceilings, and other properly prepared and primed
surfaces. JEFF LEWIS COLOR Flat features a flat finish
that helps conceal surface imperfections and allows for
easy touch-up. JEFF LEWIS COLOR Flat exhibits very good
hide and is self-priming on new drywall. Maximum VOC
Content: 20 g/L. Maximum RAVOC (Reactivity-Adjusted
VOC): 10 g/L. NOTE: This product can neither cause nor
prevent or cure the growth of mold, mildew, or other
forms of fungus. Excessive moisture and
inadequate
ventilation are the main conditions that promote their
growth. Correct any such conditions before painting.
SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces must be cured, clean, dry, and free from
dirt, dust, rust, stains, grease, oil, mildew, wax,
efflorescence, bond-breakers, and other contaminants.
Remove all loose, peeling, or chalky paint by sanding,
scraping, or other appropriate methods. Repair all
cracks, holes, and other surface imperfections with
a suitable patching material. Repaired surfaces
should then be sanded smooth and dusted clean.
Glossy surfaces should be dulled to provide a roughened
surface for good adhesion.
For special instructions, and
recommendations on primers, sealers and undercoaters,
please refer to the Product Information Sheet.
APPLICATION
Stir well before using. JEFF LEWIS COLOR Flat is
designed to be applied at package consistency.
However, if thinning is necessary to maintain good flow
and workability, add up to 1/2 pint (8 fl. oz.) of water per
gallon. JEFF LEWIS COLOR Flat may be brushed, rolled,
or sprayed. Do not apply when air or surface temperature
is below 50º F. JEFF LEWIS COLOR Flat has a spread rate
of 275-375 square feet per gallon depending on surface
conditions and ap
plication techniques.
