Preparing Your Surfaces

Clean and dry surface thoroughly, removing dirt, dust, rust, grease and wax. Scrape off loose paint. Remove wallpaper. Remove glue, shellac and sizing. Patch cracks and nail holes and prime. Paint will not adhere to glossy surfaces. Dull glossy surfaces with gloss remover or sandpaper. On new wallboard, smooth tape joints and wipe all powdery dust from surface. Prime bare wallboard with a primer formulated for that purpose. Plaster must be dry, fully cured and in good condition. Remove chalky residue and prime unpainted plaster. On ferrous metal, remove all rust and oil from surface. Primer ferrous metal surfaces with rust inhibitive metal primer. On galvanized metal, remove all rust and oil from surface. Spot prime rusty areas with a rust inhibitive metal primer. On new wood, sand smooth. Prime with an acrylic interior primer.

Dry Time

This premium paint will dry to the touch in about an hour at optimal room temperature between 50°F and below 90°F. High humidity or cool temperatures will lengthen dry time. If a second coat is desired, wait 4 hours before applying.
