Product Usage

Preparation & Prime

• Remove loose paint, wash off any dirt and grease with detergent, remove mildew stains with a mildew stain removing product.
• Scuff sand glossy surfaces.
• Countersink nailheads, repair imperfections and sand smooth.
• Remove all dust with a damp cloth, allow to dry.
• Allow new stucco, plaster and masonry to cure for 30 days before priming.
• Make sure that there are no active water problems and that any previous water damage is fully dry.
• Use BEHR ULTRA™ STAIN-BLOCKING CEILING PAINT & PRIMER as a primer for repaired or uncoated surfaces.
• Lock in stains with BEHR ULTRA STAIN-BLOCKING CEILING PAINT & PRIMER as a spot primer. For heavy stains, test for stain bleedthrough by applying BEHR ULTRA STAIN-BLOCKING CEILING PAINT & PRIMER as a topcoat to a small section. If the stain bleeds through the topcoat, spot prime another coat to the stained area and test again before topcoating the entire ceiling. If bleeding continues, a longer dry time is needed before topcoating. Additional coats may be needed to achieve hide.
• For drastic color changes, apply a primer coat of BEHR ULTRA STAIN-BLOCKING CEILING PAINT & PRIMER if needed.
