Application Conditions – Make sure that the air,
surface and product are all above 40°F and at least 5°F
above the dew point before applying. Avoid applying
this product if rain or snow is expected in 2-3 hours or if
the temperature may drop below 40°F within 48 hours.
Application – Modern Masters Front Door Paint paints
can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed onto previously
painted or properly primed, exterior doors and shutters.
Stir the paint well before using.
Brushing: Use a high-quality synthetic bristle brush
recommended for water-based paints.
Rolling: Use a 3/8
”
synthetic roller.
Spraying: Use an Airless spray unit or an Air-Assisted
Airless spray unit. Use equipment manufacturer’s
recommended tip sizes for latex paint. Thin as
needed—but carefully—as over- thinning may result in
loss of hide and a reduction of the desired appearance.
We recommend thinning 10% with water. If applying in
elevated temperatures, above 80°F a spray/roll
extender is recommended. Follow extender
manufacturer’s recommended mixing levels. Test for
compatibility before applying. When spraying, use a
properly-fitted NIOSH approved respirator per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Clean Up – Clean brushes, rollers, tool, and equipment
with soap and warm water immediately after use. Do
not reuse containers and properly dispose of empty
containers.

when not in use. Store the product in a cool dry place,
