DESCRIPTION AND USES
Perma-White
®
Mold & Mildew-Proof
™
Exterior Paint is a high
performance 100% acrylic, all purpose, exterior paint
formulated to protect exterior surfaces while preventing mold
& mildew growth on the paint film. Perma-White is designed
to produce a tough, durable, washable finish that withstands
moisture and resists dirt pick up. It is suitable for commercial
and industrial environments as well as residential use. It is
recommended for painting siding, soffits, fascia, trim, doors,
windows, foundations, gutters and downspouts, and is also
suitable for painting porch ceilings, trellises and fences.
Perma-White may be applied to new or previously painted
wood, T-11, hardboard, metals (including aluminum, steel,
copper and galvanized metal), PVC, fiberglass, and masonry
(including stucco, concrete, concrete block and brick). Perma-
White is self-priming and will develop excellent adhesion to
properly prepared surfaces including gloss or semi-gloss
paints, and aluminum and vinyl siding without the need for
sanding or deglossing. For new, unpainted or severely
weathered surfaces prone to bleeding (Cedar, Redwood,
hardboard, plywood), rusting (iron and other ferrous metals)
or brand new vinyl and aluminum, prime with Zinsser Bulls-
Eye 1-2-3

Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of dust, dirt,
excessive chalky material, grime, grease, oil, wax, mildew,
wallpaper adhesive, or any contamination that may interfere
with adhesion. If unsure of cleanliness, always wash surface
with household ammonia and water solution, appropriate
cleaning solution or solvent (do not use TSP as a cleaner).
Remove any peeling and/or unsound coatings. Sand any
remaining paint film edges smooth. Remove existing stains
by washing, sanding, scraping, etc. Countersink exposed
nail heads, spot prime and fill all nail holes and gouges with
