Always test the product in a small, inconspicuous area before beginning a project to see if the desired results are attained. Substrates: previously painted surfaces, drywall, drywall with texture, paneling and wall covering, muslin or canvas, ferrous metal, PVC piping, finished and unfinished woodĪpplication – Modern Masters Metal Effects paints can be brushed, rolled, or spray applied (See specific equipment requirements under Spraying) onto any paintable, properly primed, interior or exterior surface, such as walls, ceilings, columns, trim, doors, furniture, and paintable wallcoverings. Metal Effects Primer can be brush, roll or spray applied. Metal Effects Primer will also block out alkali salts, tannins, acid salts, or other unwanted contaminates from ‘bleeding through’ to the Metal Effects Copper Paint film and causing adverse reactions and unwanted color changes in the oxidized finish. This helps prevent the formation of rust or other oxidation products from forming under the paint film. Unlike other primers, it is especially formulated to block Metal Effects Patina Aging Solutions and Activators from reaching the metal, wood, or reactive substrate. Modern Masters – Metal Effects Primer (AM203) is a unique water-based acrylic primer. ![]() Note: Lower temperature and higher humidity will lengthen the dry and cure times of primers. Then follow the directions for applying Metal Effects Primer. Properly prime the clean, dry surface with the recommended primer and allow the surface to dry completely-preferably overnight. If this is the case, read the specific information for the recommended primer prior to beginning your project. Some metal surfaces, such as bare aluminum, galvanized metal, or rusted or slag metals, will need a specialty primer from our recommended primer list, applied prior to the application of Metal Effects Primer. Apply at least two coats of Metal Effects Primer to completely seal and block the surface. If unsure of the substrate, test a sample area to ensure the desired results. Stir well before and occasionally during application. Surfaces previously primed require light sanding. All surfaces should be sound, clean and free of oil, grease, wax, and other contaminants, and completely dry prior to priming. Patch and repair any surface imperfections before using the Metal Effects Primer. Surface Preparation – Remove all loose, peeling paint. Do not reuse containers and properly dispose of empty containers. A minimum of 3 mils dry film thickness is required for hide and full color development.Ĭlean Up – Clean brushes, rollers, tool, and equipment with soap and warm water immediately after use. Approximately 1.5 mils dry film thickness per coat. (Drying times were recorded at 70☏ and 50%RH): Note: Lower temperature and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry and cure times.Ĭoverage – One gallon/3.78 liters will cover approximately 320 square feet/29.7 square meters. Dry-to-touch time is approximately an hour. ![]() Consider cutting along the tape edge with a razor blade to avoid delaminating the fresh paint from the substrate.ĭry Times – Recoat time is approximately ½ hour. When painting over taped-off areas be aware that Metallic Paints exhibit poor early adhesion properties and are elastomeric (they stretch) before curing. Taping – Use high quality, low-tack tape when taping over surfaces that have been previously painted with Metallic Paint. Note: Do not use turbine-type “air compressors” to power the HVLP spray gun and do not use airless spray systems. ![]() Use a NIOSH approved respirator when spraying. The settings for this equipment were: Fluid Pressure-30psi and Air Pressure-60psi. Binks-2001 Conventional, with a 66SS air nozzle set up (0.70 or 1.8 fluid tips and a 66SD air nozzle). The settings for this equipment were: Fluid Pressure-25psi and Air Pressure-45psi. Examples: Binks-Mach 1 HVLP, with a 94-nozzle set up (0.55 or 1.4mm diameter fluid tip and a 90P air nozzle). Air pressure at the HVLP spray gun needs to be approximately 30 psi, with greater pressures at the tank, approximately 60 psi. Use an HVLP gun or a conventional cup gun with the fluid and air supply from a pressure pot and compressor. ![]() Thin carefully, as over thinning of the paint will result in loss of hide and a reduction of the desired appearance. Spraying: To spray Metal Effects Copper Paint, thin with up to 16 fluid ounces/473 milliliters of water to one gallon/3.78 liters of Metal Effects Copper Paint. Rolling: To roll Metal Effects Copper Paint use a highend ½” nap roller and/or a natural sea sponge roller for added effect.
