Preparation

• All surfaces should be properly prepared and cleaned.
• Remove loose paint, wash off 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 painting.

Prime

• Use BEHR PREMIUM PLUS® ECOMIX™ Paint as a primer over properly prepared coated or uncoated surfaces.
• For stain-blocking, or over oil-based or glossy surfaces, use a product such as BEHR® Kitchen, Bath & Trim Stain-Blocking Primer & Sealer No. 75.
• For optimal color development, better hide, and to reduce the number of topcoats with deep colors denoted with a dagger (†) on the color chip, apply a custom tinted primer coat of BEHR PREMIUM PLUS ECOMIX Paint.
• Prime all metal surfaces before painting.

Application

• Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 50 – 90°F.
• Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers of same product to ensure color and sheen uniformity.
• Use a high quality 3/8 – 1/2" nap roller cover, nylon/polyester brush or airless sprayer (.015 – .019" spray tip, 60 mesh filter).
• 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 additional coats for complete hide.
• Darker colors may require additional dry time between coats.
• Cooler temperatures or higher humidity may prolong drying time.
• After 2 weeks, cured paint film may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent.
• Dry paint film is mildew resistant.
• Do not use on floors.

Disposal

• For disposal of empty containers, unused paint and soiled rags, contact your household refuse collection service.
