SURFACE PREPARATION:

The entire surface to be painted should be clean, dry, sound, fully cured, and free from dirt, grease, oils, waxes, curing and release agents, mildew and any 
other surface contaminant’s that may adversely affect the performance of this coating. All new concrete and masonry surfaces should be allowed to properly 
dry/cure in accordance with industry standards. The surface area to be painted should be porous. Non-porous or smooth concrete surface should be properly etched with a muriatic acid and water solution. On previously painted substrates, remove any loose, scaling, chalked, cracked and peeling paint by hand scraping, sanding, wire brushing, or by power tool cleaning methods, such as electric sanders, grinders, etc. Feather sand smooth all rough paint edges. Glossy surfaces should be properly dulled. Repair/replace all damaged, delaminated and/or surface imperfections with the proper patching compounds or building materials.Mildew: Surface areas affected by mildew should be properly cleaned with a soft – medium bristle scrub brush and one (1) cup of Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP), mixed with 3 parts warm water, and 1 part household bleach, per gallon solution. Apply solution to the affected surface area, plus a 1-foot area surrounding the affected surface area. Allow solution to remain on the affected surface area for up to 20 minutes, occasionally reapplying solution as it dries. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow a minimum of 24 hours to dry thoroughly.

PRODUCT APPLICATION: 
Southcrete Color Guard 100% Acrylic, Patio, Deck & Concrete coating may be easily applied with a quality brush, roller, or airless spray equipment, as follows; Stir thoroughly in a spiral up and down motion, before and during application. For best results, apply in sections, and apply two finish coats. To assure color uniformity, intermix multiple containers of stock colors. Apply a small test area to verify color. When applying by brush, apply a smooth and even coat on smaller surfaces, such as painting step areas, trim or cutting-in larger surface areas. When applying by roller, on solid surface areas, apply an even and smooth coat application in a “W” or crisscross, avoiding any excessive respreading or reworking. When applying by airless spray equipment, use a unit with a 
minimum of 2000 psi of pressure, with a 0.015” – 0.017” fluid spray tip. During spray application, back-roll the surface area to ensure proper adhesion and an even coat application. To assure coating uniformity, always paint to a natural break in the surface, such as a corner or edge. Maintain a wet edge during application by brushing, rolling, or spraying into previously applied coating area. If applying two finish coats, allow to dry thoroughly between coats. Avoid exterior paint application when weather conditions are threatening, and late in the day when there is a threat of moisture condensing on wet paint. Apply when surface and ambient temperatures are above 55° F and below 90° F.

ESTIMATED COVERAGE: 
Covers approximately 250 – 300 square feet per gallon, depending on the method of application, and the porosity of the surface to be painted. Estimated drying time: Dries tack free in approximately 1 hour, for recoat in 2 – 4 hours, or after allowing to dry overnight. Dries for light foot traffic in 6 -8 hours, and for vehicle traffic in approximately 1 week, depending on conditions. Application in cooler temperatures, or in high humidity environments may prolong dry / cure times.  

CLEAN UP:
Clean up all minor spills or spatters immediately with warm soapy water, as well as all painting tools and spray equipment. More serious spills should be properly contained and removed with an inert absorbent material. Properly dispose of contaminated absorbent, container, and unused contents in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
