EC800 GS Blue, MM Theme Paint

Modern Masters® Theme Paint™ is a highly specialized line of water base, color saturated, exterior/interior flat, satin and semi-gloss paints.  This paint provides vibrant or deep long lasting colors for retail storefronts, restaurant chains, educational institutions and commercial properties.

Surface Preparation

All surfaces to be painted must be entirely free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Completely remove all loose, flaking, or chalking paint from the surfaces. Use a NIOSH approved respirator when sanding and when working with old, loose paint particles. Provide adequate ventilation. Properly prime the clean, dry surface with a primer from our recommended list and allow the surface to dry completely— preferably overnight.

Application

Do not apply in temperatures below 50°F/10°C or above 85°F/29°C. Lower temperatures and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry and cure times. Higher temperatures and/or lower humidity will speed up the dry and cure times. Modern Masters Theme Paint can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed onto any paintable, properly primed, interior or exterior surface. Stir the paint well before using.  

Brushing: Use a high-quality brush recommended for water-based paints. 

Rolling: When rolling, work in approximately 4-foot wide sections, keeping a wet edge. 

Spraying: To spray Theme Paint, use an Airless spray unit or an Air-Assisted Airless spray unit.  Use equipment manufacturer’s recommended tip sizes for latex paint.  Thin as needed—but carefully—as over- thinning may result in loss of hide and a reduction of the desired appearance.  We recommend thinning 10% with water.  When spraying, use a properly-fitted NIOSH approved respirator per the manufacturer’s instructions

Dry & Recoat

Dry and recoat times are based on 77ºF and 50% relative humidity.  Dry-to-touch is approximately 30 minutes. Recoat time is approximately 2 hours.  Lower temperature and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry and cure times. 

Coverage

Theoretical yield is 240 to 500 square feet per 1 gallon at  1.5–2 mils dry film thickness per coat.  A minimum of 2 coats are required for hide and full color development.

Clean Up

Clean brushes, rollers, tool, and equipment with soap and warm water immediately after use.  Do not reuse containers and properly dispose of empty containers.

Handling and Storage

Close tightly all containers when not in use.  Store in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight.  Do not freeze.  Stir thoroughly before use. 

Disposal

Dispose of unused or unwanted product in accordance with local laws regulating water-based coatings
