Dry Times – Recoat time is approximately ½ hour.
Dry-to-touch time is approximately an hour. (Drying
times were recorded at 70°F and 50%RH): Note: Lower
temperature and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry
and cure times. Addition of Extender for Rolling will
triple the dry time.
Protective Clear Coating – In certain applications,
such as exterior areas and interior high-traffic areas,
Metallic Paint Collection paints require the use of a
protective clear topcoat.
Modern Masters’ MasterClear interior/exterior topcoat,
available in a Semi-gloss (ME662) or Satin (ME664)
sheen, is a water-based, one part, self-crosslinking,
aliphatic polyurethane/acrylic non-yellowing topcoat.
MasterClear is formulated with both UV absorbers and
UV inhibitors mar and slip aids, to create the best
possible protection for Metallic Paint Collection paints
without affecting the metallic shimmer. The inherent
high abrasion resistance of MasterClear also extends
the service life of Metallic Paints on high-traffic interior
surfaces and exceeds 3,000 scrub cycles. Note: Other
clear topcoats may dull and otherwise ruin the
shimmering appearance of Metallic Paint Collection
paints.
Coverage – One gallon/3.78 liters will cover
approximately 320 to 400 square feet/29.7 to 37.1
square meters. Approximately 1.5 mils dry film
thickness per coat. A minimum of 3 mils dry film
thickness is required for hide and full color
development. Check label for additional information on
color specific hiding and coverage characteristics.
Clean Up – Clean brushes, rollers, tool, and equipment
with soap and warm water immediately after use. Do
