FAQs
Can I use this paint on interior walls?
This product is specifically formulated for exterior masonry and is optimized for weather resistance, which may not be necessary or ideal for interior living spaces.
Does this paint require a primer?
On sound, clean masonry, a primer is often not required. However, for highly porous or friable surfaces, a diluted base coat can improve adhesion.
How many coats should I apply?
For best protection and opacity, we recommend applying two full coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications.
Can I apply this over existing paint?
Yes, provided the existing paint is sound, clean, and not peeling or chalking. If the existing paint is loose, it must be removed first.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times vary based on ambient temperature and humidity, but the surface should generally be touch-dry within a few hours and fully cured after 24-48 hours.
Troubleshooting
Paint is peeling shortly after application
This is usually caused by damp or dirty surfaces during application. Ensure the wall is completely dry and free of loose debris before repainting.
Visible brush marks or uneven finish
Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a professional-grade roller. Avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the masonry surface is structurally sound, clean, and completely dry. Use a stiff brush to remove any loose material. If treating previously painted surfaces, ensure they are stable and not chalking. Apply using a high-quality masonry brush or a medium-pile roller for textured surfaces. Keep the paint container sealed tightly when not in use to prevent thickening. If you are applying to highly porous surfaces, a first coat thinned slightly with water may act as a helpful primer for subsequent full-strength coats. Store in a cool, frost-free location.
