above the dew point before applying.  Avoid applying 
this product if rain or snow is expected in 2-3 hours or if

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.
