Ideal for trim surfaces where a lower sheen or less shiny finish is desired Recommended as a finish coat on these surfaces: Prepared new and old wood siding; Concrete, stucco, brick and masonry; Cedar shakes & shingles; Aluminum siding; Non-rusting metals, i.e., aluminum & copper; T-111 and MDO siding materials. Can be used over either Latex or Oil Based primers. Proper surface preparation is essential to every satisfactory paint job. First, make sure the surface is dry. Remove all contaminants, which include chalk, mildew, efflorescence dirt, dust, grease, oil, wax and loose and flaking paint. Any hard or shiny surface will require hand or mechanical sanding. Preparing under eaves and other protected areas: These areas do not receive cleaning from the natural elements of rain and wind. The best way to clean such surfaces is to power or brush wash with a conventional detergent, followed by a rinse of clean water. Allow surface to thoroughly dry before painting (moisture content should be below 15%). Mildew removal: Prepare a solution of 1 quart of liquid household bleach and 3 quarts of water. Leave the solution on the surface for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly; allow the surface to dry. Be sure to wear protective goggles, waterproof gloves and protective clothing while working with this solution. Wash off any solution that comes in contact with skin immediately. Do not add any detergents or ammonia to the bleach/water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow surface to thoroughly dry before painting (moisture content should be below 15%). WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from any surface, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Carefully clean up with a wet mop or HEPA vacuum. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the U.S. EPA/Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424LEAD (5323) or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

Chalky Surfaces - Power wash surface thoroughly, allow the surface to dry, then prime with Muralo X-200 Oil-Based Primer or with a premium quality oil-based primer. Unpainted, weathered wood - Thoroughly sand surface to remove deteriorated wood and loose debris. Prime these surfaces with Muralo X-200 Oil-Based Primer or with a premium quality oil-based primer.

Spot prime exposed bare metal with Muralo Polyurethane Anti-Rust Primer or with a premium quality rust preventive primer.

Introducing additives to it will minimize its performance. Start painting at the top and work down. If staining has bled through the primer coat, apply an additional coat of primer before applying the finish paint. Do not paint late in the day or at anytime if dew or rain is anticipated in the next 24 hours. Do not apply if surface temperature is below 50F or it is expected to drop below 50F within 24 hours. Do not paint in direct sunlight; follow the shade around the house as you paint. This is especially important when painting aluminum siding as it conducts heat rapidly and can result in damaging the paint film. To avoid warping, do not paint vinyl siding with a darker color than the original color. Do not paint over damp surfaces. Allow the surface to thoroughly dry after rain or washing.
