PREPARATION

All surfaces should be properly prepared and cleaned. Remove loose paint, wash off chalk, dirt, and grease with detergent, rinse and allow to dry. Remove mildew stains with a mildew stain removing product. Scuff sand glossy surfaces and repair imperfections. Remove all dust with a damp cloth, allow to dry. Allow new stucco, plaster and masonry to cure for 30 days before priming.

APPLICATION

Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C). Use a high quality 3/8-1/2" nap roller cover, nylon polyester brush or an airless sprayer (.015-.019" spray tip, 60 mesh filter). Stir occasionally. Do not thin if using a roller or brush; however, if using a sprayer and thinning is required, thin with water at a rate of no more than 1/2 pint per gallon. Heavy stains may require two coats. Spot prime patched areas first, follow with a complete primer coat. Bright or deep colors require a tinted primer. Have primer tinted close to topcoat color with no more than 4 ounces of colorant per gallon.
† On stained surfaces, topcoat in 4 hours, for heavy stains, topcoat in 16 hours.
