.PRODUCT APPLICATION .
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are
between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and humidity is below 85% to
ensure proper drying.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical
contaminants by washing the surface with a commercial
detergent, or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with
fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry. Remove loose
paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Lightly sand
glossy surfaces.
WARNING: If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may
release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD
DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN
DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN
SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator 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 National Lead
Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to
www.eps.gov/lead.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
PRIMING
Use of a latex primer (American Accents 7980502 White
Primer) promotes adhesion and enhances hiding and is
especially recommended for bare wood, bare metal, new
drywall or as a primer over contrasting colors.
APPLICATION
Before using, stir thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is re-
dispersed. A ¼" nap roller is recommended for large surface
areas such as a wall. Start in an appropriate 4 foot area and
apply in a straight up and down motion, ceiling to floor (versus a
‘W’ motion). End the stroke on the downward roll. Move to the
next adjacent area and repeat the technique, slightly overlapping
the just applied wet area (about 2 inches). Use a small width ¼"
nap roller for cutting in corners, ceilings, and baseboards.
NOTE: The paint finish will have a subtle texture. If applying by
brush, use a high quality brush recommended for water-based
semi-gloss paints. For spray application follow equipment
manufacturer’s directions carefully. Always keep the spray gun
ten to twelve inches from the surface and in motion while
spraying.
DRY & RECOAT
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F and 50% relative
humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. A minimum of
two coats are recommended. Dries to touch in 30 minutes, dries
to handle in 2 hours, and is fully dry in 24 hours. The finish may
be recoated in 30 minutes. Clear Coat: For outdoor or high wear
interior surfaces such as furniture, a topcoat of Rust-Oleum
253613 Satin Clear may be applied after 24 hours.
CLEAN-UP
Clean brush and other application tools immediately with
soap and water.
