5. APPLICATION: Handling/Storage/Shipping: Care must be exercised in handling. Multicolor paint is fragile. To mix thoroughly, stir gently with paddle. Do not mix mechanically. Vigorous agitation may break down color flecks and change color. Do not freeze or store over 100º F. Close container tightly after each use. Do not store in unlined metal containers.
Surface Preparation and Priming:
Surface must be clean, dry, flat and without defects. Prime with appropriateprimer/sealer/ stainkiller required for surface to be painted. Follow primer manufacturer's instructions for use. Use premium quality primer having good holdout and tooth. Do not prime with flat paint. For hard, smooth surfaces, specific high performance primers are recommended. Undercoats that contain shellac, wax, silicones or stearates may not be suitable. When in doubt, check intercoat adhesion between primer and multicolor topcoat prior to proceeding with application. Do not prime with flat wall paint. Textured surfaces must be filled and primed. Pattern size will appear smaller and square footage per gallon will be less over textured surfaces.
Reduction: When necessary, add water gradually in small increments (3 to 4 liquid ounces per addition not to exceed 5% in total) until an acceptable spray pattern is achieved. Too much water will cause the paint to sag. (Do not add thinners, reducers or solvents.)

Equipment: Multispec WaterColors is designed to be applied with specific HVLP and conventional dual-regulated air spray equipment. NOTE: Do not use airless spray equipment. Color standard sprayouts are sprayed with Binks Mach 1 HVLP gun with 97AS tip and an ASME dual-regulated pressure pot. With conventional air spray equipment use Binks 2001 gun with internal mix nozzle assembly, #200 air nozzle, #66SS fluid nozzle and 565 needle or equivalent, and an ASME rated dual-regulated pressure pot. Use a compressor that will deliver consistent CFM to match spray gun's capacity. May also be applied with an external mix nozzle assembly for industrial applications,
Application Guidelines: Final finish may vary from standard due to variations in paint, equipment, pressure settings, technique and substrate. Always evaluate color, pattern and paint delivery rate on mock-up test area while using specific batch of paint with equipment selected for job and be certain that mock-up meets with the approval of specifier prior to beginning job. Once approved, the mock-up should serve as the standard for the job. Color standards and film properties can only be attained when application is full coat coverage. Follow equipment manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance of equipment. Observe all warning statements relating to both paint and equipment.
• Avoid application during periods of high humidity and/or when temperature of paint surface or air is below 60º F or above 100º F.
• Remove all filters and strainers from spray equipment.
• Do not use pressure pot agitator, siphon-type or gravity feed guns or airlessspray equipment.
• Use paint with same batch number forspecific job. There may be slight differences between batches.
One-Step Application Technique:
Set material and air pressure to match approved sprayout. Maintain uniform distance of 18" - 24" between the gun and surface. Aim spray gun directly at surface (spraying at an angle will distort pattern). Spray, overlapping each previous stroke by 50% and crosshatch the same area with vertical strokes to eliminate any lap marks and to achieve full coat coverage. Spray an area comfortable to reach.
Topcoating: Not necessary in most applications. Can be topcoated to increase gloss and/or improve properties.
|
Touchup: Patch and/or prime as necessary. Select spray equipment and tip size and adjust pressure settings to be used. Do a mock-up to match original finish.
1. For small areas: Apply multicolor lightly as a spattercoat, inspect and continue to spatter area until same coverage is achieved as the adjacent painted area. Feather out as necessary to blend in.
2. For large areas: Corner-to-corner touchup is recommended using the same application technique and equipment setup as used in original
application.
3. Note: In areas with clear topcoat, degloss and/or prime before repainting, using multicolor followed
by clear topcoat.
Cleanup: Flush equipment with water thoroughly.
Precautions: DO NOT BREATHE SPRAY MIST. Wear an appropriate respirator (NIOSH/MSHA Approved), safety goggles and gloves. Use adequate ventilation, DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
