COVERAGE
300-400 SQ. FT.(27.9- 37.2 sq meters) per gallon, depending on surface porosity and texture. Be sure to estimate the right amount of paint for your job. This will ensure color uniformity and minimize the disposal of excess paint.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces must be clean and free of mildew and forming oils. If mildew is evident it must be removed by application of BENJAMIN MOORE CLEAN (318). CAUTION: must use rubber gloves, work and protective clothing when applying mildew wash. Remove excessive chalk, loose or scaling paint. Remove any previously applied cement-based water paints by sandblasting. Glossy surfaces must be dulled. Un-weathered areas such as eaves, ceilings and overhangs should be washed with a detergent solution and/ or rinsed with a strong stream of water to remove surface salts that can interfere with proper adhesion.
WARNING! If you scrape sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH- approved respirator to control lead exposure. Carefully clean up with a HEPA vacuum and wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
PRIMERS
For best hiding results, tint primer to the approximate shade of the finish coat.
Special Note: Certain custom colors require a Deep Base Primer tinted to a special prescription formula to achieve the desire color. Consult your retailer [support@myperfectcolor.com]. On most bare surfaces, apply BENJAMIN MOORE FRESH START MOORWHITE Primer (100) or BENJAMIN MOORE FRESH START. All-Purpose 100% Acrylic Primer (023). Spot Prime nail holes, surfaces that need caulking or putty, and bare spots.
Re-prime Puttied or caulked areas before applying top coat.
Note: To minimize staining from unpainted cedar or redwood, spot prime butt ends, joints or scraped areas to addition to over all priming. Spot-prime stained areas on previously painted woods before overall priming. If bleeding occurs on cedar or redwood, a second coat of primer may be necessary.
A primer is not required on unpainted or weathered masonry if the surface is firm. Loose, sandy masonry, soft with age, should be dry-brushed and primed with one of MOORE’S Masonry Sealers (066) or (C077).
On rough or unpainted masonry, cement, and cinder block, a first coat of MOORCRAFY SUPER CRAFT Block Filter (285) will produce a smoother finish.
Metal surfaces should be primed with the recommended BENJAMIN MOORE metal primer.
APPLICATION
Stir thoroughly before and during use. Apply one or two coats. For best results, use a BENJAMIN MOORE custom-blended nymol/plyester brush, BENJAMIN MOORE roller, or a similar product.
