Features

This durable wall paint protects with a 100% acrylic coating for a lifetime of interior beauty. Paint dries quickly and cleans up easily with soap and water.

Where to Use

Use paint on properly prepared interior wall and ceiling surfaces including previously painted and primed plaster, brick, drywall, cement, wood, metal and wallpaper.

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.

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.
