  • Move all furniture away from surfaces that need to be painted and ensure furniture is covered with a drape or canvas drop cloth.
  • Ensure ceiling, walls and trim are free of dust.
  • Fill any nail holes and smooth out the walls as needed and clean the surface of any new residue.
  • Use painter’s tape on surrounding edges for clean application.

Step 1: Prime your surface

For New Drywall Surfaces:

  • Apply two coats of a water based, all-purpose, stain blocking drywall primer.
  • Please allow for 2-4 hours minimum between coats of our All Purpose Base Coat before starting your paint application.

For Previously Painted Walls:

  • If your walls are in good condition and have a flat/matte white paint you may apply your new acrylic paint directly over your existing paint.
  • If your walls are painted with a finish that has a sheen, lightly sand the surface, clean the surface of residue then proceed with a water based, all-purpose, stain blocking primer.
  • If your walls have any stains, a water based, all-purpose, stain blocking primer is highly recommended. 

Step 2: Paint

  • Make sure you properly stir the acrylic paint before using to ensure that nothing is separated and sitting at the bottom of the can to allow for a more consistent color.
  • Our traditional paints can be rolled, sprayed or brushed on. 
  • Please allow for 2-4 hours minimum between coats. For optimal results and good coverage, two coats are recommended.
  • Once you’re done painting and while the paint is still drying remove tape at a 45 degree angle. Have a damp painter’s rag handy in case paint seeps. Peeling can happen if you wait to remove the tape once the paint is dry. 

Pro Tips:

  • We encourage you to work from top to bottom. This means paint your ceiling first and work your way down. 
  • Cut in edges with a brush then proceed to paint. Do one wall at a time.
  • To avoid getting paint on your freshly painted ceiling with the roller, make sure you paint a thicker border by the ceiling.
  • Leave your trim as the last step to avoid getting paint splatter on it while painting your walls.

Make sure you properly seal your can when finished between coats and once you are completed with your application. Please make sure you store the can in a cool area out of direct sunlight.

Store and keep out of reach of children. As with all paints it is important to protect yourself by wearing protective eye wear and masks during preparatory work such as scraping and sanding. During application, use protective eye wear as it can irritate the eyes.
