Modern Masters - Wildfire - Visible Fluorescent Paint

Follow standard practices and procedures for properly preparing surfaces for the
application of traditional water-based acrylic paint. All surfaces to be painted must be entirely free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Completely
remove all loose, flaking, or chalking paint from the surfaces. Use a NIOSH approved respirator when sanding and when working with old, loose paint
particles. Provide adequate ventilation. For best results prime surfaces with white non-fluorescent acrylic latex primer and allow to dry completely.

Substrates: previously painted surfaces, muslin or canvas, unfinished drywall, textured drywall, vinyl siding & shutters, paneling and wall covering, masonry & brick, cured stucco, cast concrete, Hardiboard & Hardiplank, unfinished plywood, particle board, galvanized metal, direct to clean metal, PVC piping, Tile or Laminate.

Wildfire Paints are meant for interior surfaces only. Keep away from direct sunlight as the fluorescent pigments will fade in approximately 3 months or less when exposed to sunlight. Do not apply in temperatures below 50°F/10°C or above 85°F/29°C.

Note: Lower temperatures and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry and cure times. Higher temperatures and/or lower humidity will speed up the dry and cure times.

Modern Masters Wildfire Paint can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed onto any paintable, properly primed, interior surface. Wildfire Paints look best when spray applied. Stir the paint well before using.

Brushing: Use a high-quality brush recommended for water-based paints.

Rolling: When rolling, work in approximately 4-foot wide sections, keeping a wet edge.

Spraying: To spray Wildfire Paint, use an airbrush, conventional cup gun, an HVLP gun, or an airless spray unit. Thin as needed--but carefully--as over-thinning of
the paint may result in loss of hide and a reduction of the desired appearance. We recommend a starting point of thinning with water or Roscoe P-50 water base fire retardant at 30%, when using spray equipment and thinning 40-50% with water or Roscoe P-50 water base fire retardant when using an airbrush. Multiple thin coats are more effective than thick coats and produce a more uniform finish. When spraying, use a properly-fitting, NIOSH approved respirator per the manufacturer’s instructions.

All Wildfire Paints can be intermixed to create an unlimited color palette, including earth tones and skin tones. Mix colors together while working under blacklight for best results. You can achieve deeper color tones by intermixing non-fluorescing paints in the same tone or color range. Be sure to check daylight and blacklight results before applying to your project.

Dry-to-touch is approximately ½ hour. Recoat time is approximately 1 hour. Note: Dry times recorded at 70°F and 50%RH. Lower temperature and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry and cure times. Higher temperatures and/or lower humidity will speed up the dry and cure times.

One gallon/3.78 liters will cover approximately 250 to 300 square feet/23 to 27 square meters. Approximately 1.5 mils dry film thickness per coat. A minimum of 3 mils dry film thickness is required for hide and full color development.

Clean brushes, rollers, tool, and equipment with soap and warm water immediately after use. Do not reuse containers and properly dispose of empty containers.
