Modern Masters - Cool and Warm Tone Primers

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.

Mix thoroughly. Product is formulated to be used as is. Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C), the relative humidity is no greater than 85% and surface is at least 5°F (3°C) above dew point. Dry times may be effected by extreme high or low relative humidity. Ensure fresh air entry during application and when drying.

BRUSHING: Use a high quality synthetic bristle brush.

ROLLING: Use a high quality low nap roller.

SPRAYING: Air –Atomized Spray (pressure feed only): Fluid tip – 0.055-0.070, Fluid Delivery – 10-16 oz./min, Atomizing Pressure – 25-60 psi. Airless Spray: Fluid

To improve hide and coverage with darker and deeper colors, Metallic Paint Primer can be tinted to even darker tones with up to 2 oz. of universal colorant per gallon.
Tinting may increase dry times.

Recoat time is approximately 1 hour. Dry-totouch time is approximately 30 minutes. (Drying times were recorded at 77°F and 50%RH.)

Note: Lower temperature and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry and cure times.

One gallon will cover up to 325 square feet.

Clean brushes, rollers, tool, and equipment with soap and warm water immediately after use. Promptly wipe up spills and splatters with a damp cloth.
