DIRECTIONS FOR USE

TINTING: Do not tint.

THINNING: None required.

Note: Always know local VOC restrictions for coatings

applications in your area before thinning this product.
Thinning recommendations meet Federal VOC restrictions
for architectural coatings. This product and other referenced
products may not meet VOC restrictions for your application
and may not be available in your area. Carefully read and
observe warning thinner labels.

APPLICATION: Apply by spray, brush or roller. APPLY

ONLY when air and surface temperatures are between
50 - 110°F and the surface temperature of the steel substrate
is at least 5oF above dew point.

For use over inorganic zinc, apply unthinned at wet film

thickness of 5 - 6 mils. Allow to flash-off solvents 10 - 15
minutes, then apply a full wet coat to achieve specified dry
film thickness.

DRYING TIME: Under normal conditions, dries to touch in

5 - 8 hours. Recoat time is 5 hour minimum and 3 months
maximum. Low temperature, high humidity, poor ventilation
and thick films will retard drying time. Recoating time
is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures.
Higher surface temperature will shorten the maximum
recoat window. Surface temperature should be monitored,
especially on heated surfaces.

CLEAN UP: Clean up skin, clothing, paint tools or spills

immediately with recommended thinner or cleaner, carefully
observing cautions on paint, thinner and cleaner labels.
Dried paint may be removed by scraping.
