Where to Use

Properly prepared and cleaned coated or uncoated exterior surfaces. Ideal for Wood, Vinyl, Aluminum, Fiber Cement Siding, Metals, Brick, Masonry, Stucco, Steel, and Fences.

Preparation & Prime†

Countersink nailheads, fill and sand smooth. Remove rust, loose or peeling paint. Repair imperfections and sand smooth.
Wash off dirt, grease and chalk with detergent and/or powerwash. Remove mildew stains with a mildew stain removing product.
Clean and sand new or weathered wood. Scuff sand or degloss smooth or glossy surfaces.
Scuff sand or etch metals. Rinse and allow to dry.
Caulk windows, doors and other openings. Allow new stucco, plaster and masonry to cure for 30 days before painting.
Use BEHR ULTRA™ paint as a primer for repaired or uncoated surfaces, including woods that contain tannins (two primer coats required for redwood and cedar) and heavily stained areas.
Lock in stains with the first primer coat; if necessary, apply a second primer coat of BEHR ULTRA.
For drastic color changes or when applying deep colors denoted with a dagger (†) on the color chip, apply a tinted primer coat of BEHR ULTRA if needed.

Application

Apply product on dry substrates when air and surface temperatures are between 35°-90°F (2°-32°C) and will remain between 35°-90°F (2°-32°C) for at least 4 hours after applying.
Do not paint when rain or heavy condensation is expected.
Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers of same product to ensure color and sheen uniformity.
On semi-smooth surfaces, use a high quality 3/8-1/2” nap roller cover, nylon/polyester brush or an airless sprayer (.015-.021” spray tip, 60 mesh filter).
On rough surfaces, use a high quality 3/4-1” nap roller cover.
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.
Certain colors may require more than one coat for complete hide.
On heavy stains and woods that contain tannins, allow 12-16 hours of dry time between coats. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity may prolong drying time.
After 4 weeks, cured paint film may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent.
Dry paint film is mildew resistant.
When applying to vinyl, color choice must be the same color or lighter than the existing color. Do not use on floors.
