All Surfaces:

• Properly prepare and clean all surfaces.
• Remove loose paint, wash off dirt and grease with detergent, rinse and allow to dry. Remove mildew stains with a mildew stain remover.
• Scuff sand glossy surfaces and repair imperfections.
• Remove all dust with a damp cloth, allow to dry.
• Allow new stucco, plaster and masonry to cure for 30 days before painting.
• Use BEHR MARQUEE paint as a primer for uncoated, porous or repaired interior surfaces, including woods that contain tannins (two primer coats required for redwood and cedar).

Stained Surfaces:

• Lock in stains with BEHR MARQUEE as a spot primer.
• For heavy stains, test for stain bleed-through by applying BEHR MARQUEE to a small section.
• If the stain bleeds through, spot prime with another coat to the stained area and test again before topcoating.
• If bleeding continues, a longer dry time is needed before topcoating.

Application

• Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C).
• Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers of same product to ensure color and sheen uniformity.
• Use a high quality 3/8-1/2" nap roller cover, nylon/polyester brush or an airless sprayer (.015 - .019" spray tip, 60 mesh filter).
• Do not thin if using a roller or brush; however, if using a sprayer and thinning is required, thin with water at a rate of no more than 1/2 pint per gallon.
• Fully saturate roller for best coverage.
• Untinted bases and colors outside of the MARQUEE Interior One-Coat Color Collection may require more than one coat to achieve complete hide and a uniform finish.
• Darker colors may require additional dry time between coats. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity may prolong drying time.
• After 2 weeks, cured paint film may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent.
• Dry paint film is mildew resistant.
• Do not use on floors.

Disposal

• For disposal of empty containers, unused paint and soiled rags, contact your household refuse collection service.
