Prestige Paints 100% acrylic exterior latex paint and primer in one is a high end paint that is intended to be used on exterior surfaces including properly prepared wood, masonry surfaces, cement board siding, vinyl*, aluminum, and factory primed siding. (Note: *When painting vinyl siding do not paint with any color darker than the original siding. Painting with darker colors may cause the siding to warp.) Actual paint colors may vary from on-screen and printer representation. Surface Preparation: Remove dirt, mildew, grease, wax and soap residue, loose and peeling paint. Glossy areas must be dulled by sanding. Prime all bare, new wood and factory primed wood with an oil base primer. Prime masonry surfaces including cementious siding with a latex primer. Application: Stir or mix paint before using and intermix all containers for color uniformity. Apply as is with a high quality brush, roller or pad painter. Thin sparingly with water if necessary for spraying. Do not overspread. Temperature must be above 50 F (10 C). Average coverage 400 sq. ft. (37 square meters) per gallon (3.78 L). For best performance, apply two coats of paint on new surfaces after priming. Do not use indoors. Dry Time: Dries in 1 to 2 hours. Allow to dry overnight before recoating. Low temperature or high humidity may increase dry time. Cleanup: Use warm water and soap. Satin finish paints are probably the most commonly used finish on exterior surfaces. Satin finishes resist mildew effectively and are easier to clean than flat or eggshell finishes, and can be wiped down or scrubbed lightly. On exterior surfaces, satins are ideal for painting siding that is in good to excellent condition. Outside surfaces painted with satin paint also shed water effectively and don't fade quickly from the sun. They are also a good choice for painting trim and shutters.
