Coverage

400 sq. ft. per gallon of paint depending on porosity. With some colors or drastic color changes, more than one coat may be necessary to achieve a uniform finish.

Clean Air Formula

According to the U.S. EPA, "volatile organic compounds (VOC's) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOC's include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOC's are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors." In addition, VOC's are a contributing factor to ozone, a common air pollutant. Health risks depend upon how much is in the air and the frequency in which it is breathed. Learn more about low VOC and low odor.

Preparing Your Surfaces

Clean and dry the surface thoroughly, removing all dirt, dust, rust, grease and wax. Scrape off loose paint and wallpaper. Remove glue, shellac and sizing. Patch cracks and prime. Dull glossy surfaces with gloss remover or sandpaper. Remove chalky residue and prime unpainted plaster and wallboard with latex wall primer. New wood surfaces should be sanded smooth and primed with latex wood trim primer or latex wall primer. If painting over wallpaper, test pattern for bleeding. If bleeding occurs, remove the paper or prime with oil-based stain block or latex stain killer primers.

Application

Stir paint thoroughly before and occasionally during use. Use a premium quality roller or polyester brush or airless sprayer following manufacturers directions. Paint the ceiling first, then the walls, rolling from dry into wet areas using firm, crisscross strokes. Note: To ensure uniform color, intermix all containers of same color. Dries to touch in 30 minutes, 4 hours before recoating, longer in high humidity or cool temperatures. Paint only when surface and air temperatures are 50-90°F during application and drying time.
