ApplicationBlank space if empty.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fonzie from Best paint ever! I love the application of this paint and the durability is awesome! The paint and primer in 1 is the best way to go. I applied this paint to my house last year and it looks like new to this day. It has weathered a hurricane and many Georgia storms. I am super impressed. The neighbors always complement the paint.
