Product Specification

Modern Masters® Metallic Paint Primer is an ideal primer and foundation color for Modern Masters’ Metallic Paint Collection and Exterior Metallic Paints. It promotes adhesion on smooth surfaces, dries fast and is immediately sandable when dry. It also provides excellent stain-blocking power and can tolerate a caustic substrate level of pH 13. Use Cool Tone Primer under Silver and Pewter Metallic colors. For Gold and Copper Metallic colors, use Modern Masters Warm Tone Primer.

Metallic Paint Primer is suitable for concrete, masonry, nonferrous metal, galvanized steel, plastic, wallboard, wood, plaster, stucco, and previously coated surfaces. It can be used for both interior and exterior applications.

SURFACE PREPARATION

ALL SURFACES: Remove dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a commercial detergent or other suitable cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly with fresh water and allow to fully dry. If any mold or mildew is present on the surface clean further with one quart of household bleach added to a gallon of water. Rinse with clean water. Severely mildewed areas should be cleaned with a chlorinated cleansing powder and thoroughly rinsed with water. All surfaces must be dry at time of application.

GALVANIZED STEEL: New galvanized steel should be solvent cleansed to remove all post galvanizing treatments such as oil, grease or wax. Old or existing galvanized steel should be thoroughly washed to remove all surface contaminates.

CONCRETE AND MASONRY: Hand or power tool clean to remove all loose or unsound concrete, masonry, or previous coating. Very dense, non-porous, concrete should be acid etched or abrasive blasted to remove the laitance layer and create a surface profile. Allow new concrete to cure for 30 days before coating.

PREVIOUSLY COATED: Previously coated surfaces must be sound and in good condition. Smooth, hard or glossy finishes should be scarified by sanding to create a surface profile.
