Pittsburgh Paints & Stains
Architectural Coatings Paramount Paint & Primer In One Interior Eggshell
GENERAL SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces to be coated must be clean and dry. Remove all loose and peeling paint, dirt, grease and any other surface contaminants. Putty all nail
holes and caulk all cracks and open seams. Sand all glossy, rough and patched surfaces. Masonry and plaster surfaces must be allowed to cure
for 30 days prior to painting. Uncoated substrates, repaired surfaces or lightly stained areas may require additional coats. For severe stains, water
marks, and other challenging conditions use the appropriate primer
WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust or fumes. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST OR
FUMES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO
AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a properly fitted NIOSH-approved respirator and prevent skin contact to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully
with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the USEPA National Lead
Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead. In Canada, contact a regional Health Canada office. Follow these instruc-
tions to control exposure to other hazardous substances that may be released during surface preparation.
CONCRETE/MASONRY BLOCK: Mortar should cure for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to painting. Fill block with an appropriate
block filler. Surfaces previously coated with water thinned cement-based paint must be prepared with extra care. If the material appears to be
adhering tightly, a masonry sealer may be applied to seal the surface. Check adhesion by applying a piece of masking tape. If the sealer peels
off and has loose particles, remove all chalking or crumbling material, re-seal and re-check adhesion.
GYPSUM WALLBOARD-DRYWALL: Nails or screws should be countersunk, and they along with any indentations should be mudded flush with
the surface, sanded smooth and cleaned to remove any dust prior to painting the substrate.
FERROUS METAL: The surface must be cleaned thoroughly to remove dust, rust, and surface contaminants, and then primed.
PLASTER: Plaster, hardcoat, skim coat, or other alkaline surfaces should be allowed to cure for at least 30 days prior to painting.
WOOD: Unpainted wood or wood in poor condition should be sanded smooth and wiped clean. Any knots or resinous areas must be sealed
before painting. Countersink all nails, putty flush with surface.
