Performance Characteristics
Tintable to mid-tone and deep-tone colors Hides
bright colors and patterns in one coat Improves hide
and coverage of dark color topcoats Rust inhibitive –
may be used to prime ferrous metal Dried film is
mold and mildew resistant
May be applied to high pH surfaces (up to 12.5)
Binds moderately chalky surfaces
Dries in minutes, can be recoated in 1 hour
Recommended Uses – Apply to interior and exterior – walls, ceilings, doors, trim, fascia, soffits, foundations, railings, and
related paintable surfaces. Bulls-Eye 1-2-3 DEEP TINT bonds to wood, plaster, concrete, gloss enamels, hardboard, glass
and tile. Provides a rust inhibitive coating on iron railings, steel frames, piping, etc. Resists the growth of mold and mi ldew
on primer film in damp, humid environments. Resistant to high pH surfaces (up to 12.5) including; plaster, poured concrete,
concrete block, stucco and ‘hot’ joint/texture compounds. Seals porous surfaces and traps most stains in the primer film –
graffiti, grease, rust, cedar & redwood tannin, creosote, and asphalt stains. Some stains may require a second coat.
Interior – New or previously painted drywall, cured plaster, cement, poured concrete, concrete block, stucco, wood (pine,
fir, birch, oak and plywood), aluminum, iron, steel and galvanized metal, PVC, glossy laminates and other interior surfaces.
Exterior – Recommended for all types of wood (New or previously painted pine, fir, cedar, redwood, plywood, T-111, and
pressure treated wood), hardboard, metal (aluminum, steel, iron and galvanized metal), PVC, fiberglass, masonry (stucco,
concrete block, poured concrete and brick)
Rust Inhibitive – Dries to a tight, water resistant film that inhibits development and spread of rust on metal. Remove rust
and wipe surface clean with a rag dampened in alcohol.
Mold & Mildew Resistance – Resists the growth of mold and mildew on the primer film.
High pH Resistance – Can be applied to high pH surfaces (up to 12.5) without bubbling, lifting or degrading due to high
alkalinity making it an ideal primer for concrete, stucco, plaster & fast setting joint/texture compounds.
Cedar & Redwood Bleed – Traps tannins in the primer film to prevent them from ‘bleeding’ into the finish coat. For best
results, allow to dry overnight before applying topcoat. Very porous woods may require two coats before topcoat.
Chalky Siding – Contains chalk-binding resins for use on moderately chalked aluminum or previously painted siding and
trim.
Glossy Surfaces – Adheres to glossy enamel paints and clear finishes, Formica
®
, Masonite
®
, PVC, fiberglass, vinyl – even
ceramic tile – without pre-sanding or surface de-glossing.
