PREPARATION & PRIME†

• 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.
• Use BEHR ULTRA as a primer for properly prepared uncoated or painted interior surfaces, including woods that contain tannins (two primer coats required for redwood and cedar) and heavily stained areas.
• Lock in stains with BEHR ULTRA Paint as a spot primer.
• For heavy stains, test for stain bleed-through by applying BEHR ULTRA Paint to a small section. If stain bleeds through, spot prime another coat to the stained area and test again before topcoating. If bleeding continues, a longer dry time is needed before topcoating.
• 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 Paint if needed

Application

• Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C).
• 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.
