Step-by-step process
Step 1
Once your surface is clean, prepped and primed, apply the Porch & Patio Floor Paint. Stir the paint before applying. Apply a thin, even coat using a 3/8" nap roller, pad applicator, nylon-polyester brush or airless sprayer.
TIP: The spread rate will vary depending on the porosity and texture of the surface.
Step 2
Do not thin paint if using a roller and brush.
TIP: If you are using more than 1 can, ensure color uniformity by intermixing all cans.
Step 3
Let the coating dry. Coating will dry to touch in 1 hour, but allow at least 4-6 hours before deciding if a second coat is necessary.
TIP: Certain colors may need more than one coat to achieve complete hide and coverage.
Step 4
Make sure that the surface is fully cured before use. Allow 72 hours for normal use and 4 weeks before rinsing or cleaning with a mild, non-abrasive, liquid detergent.
TIP: Premature heavy traffic will cause paint failure which will require spot re-coating.
