Modern Masters Metal Effects Oxidizing Iron Paint can be brushed, rolled, or spray applied onto any paintable, properly primed, interior or exterior surface, such as walls, ceilings, columns, trim, doors, furniture, and paintable wallcoverings. Always test the product in a small, inconspicuous area before beginning a project to see if the desired results are attained. We recommend preparing a sample board prior to beginning a project to check color and technique. The paint should be mixed thoroughly before using.
Do not apply in temperatures below 55°F/13°C or above 85°F/29°C.
BRUSHING: Use a high-quality brush suitable for use with water base paints.
ROLLING: To roll Metal Effects Oxidizing Iron Paint, use a high-quality, lint free roller and/or a natural sea sponge roller for added effect.
SPRAY: The Metal Effects Oxidizing Iron Paint can be spray applied using conventional air atomized spray or HVLP. Thin only as needed with clean, fresh water up to 12.5% by volume, one pint (16 fl. oz.) per gallon. Do not over thin as
this can affect the hide and final appearance. The actual amount of thinning will depend on the type of spray equipment being used. Be sure the air supply is clean and oil free.
Taping: Use high quality, low-tack tape when taping over surfaces that have been previously painted with Metallic Paint. When painting over taped-off areas be aware that Metallic Paints exhibit poor early adhesion properties and are elastomeric (they stretch) before curing. Consider cutting along the tape edge with a razor blade to avoid delaminating the fresh paint from the substrate.
