Color: White, Standard and Custom Colors

Coating Systems:
Primer Coats:
This product should normally be primed with Anchor #3601 Exterior Latex Primer.
 
Surface Preparation:
Paint only over clean and dry surfaces. Remove all loose paint, oil, grease, dirt, chalk or other contaminants that would hinder the performance of the coating. Mildew must be killed by scrubbing with a solution of a non-soapy detergent such as T.S.P. (Tri-Sodium Phosphate), a 10% solution of household bleach and warm water. Thoroughly rinse affected area and let dry prior to painting. Repair all damaged areas and repair any cracks or splits with appropriate caulk or filler. Glossy surfaces should be sanded. On unfinished porous surfaces such as concrete block, a block filler should be used prior to priming.

Application Considerations:
Brush, spray or roll. Strain material before spraying. Back roll after spraying. Check color prior to applying as Anchor cannot be responsible for color dissatisfaction after application. Always apply into rather than away from wet edge, overlapping each pass 50%. Avoid touching up, rolling or brushing back into paint more than ten minutes after applying. Touch up when paint is completly dry. Allow to cure ten days before cleaning newly painted surfaces.
Touch Up:
Proper touch-up is accomplished by applying a thin coat of this product over a well coated surface using the same method of application as used to apply the finish coat, that is, spray over spray, roller over roller. If the finish coat is sprayed, it is also possible to spray a small amount into an empty container, then touching up with a foam brush. Touch up should be done within 5 degrees of the original temperature.
