Exterior Paint and Primer In One, 1-Gallon, Semi-Gloss, Comparable Match - Real Red

Prestige Paints offers a 100% acrylic exterior latex paint and primer in one, designed for high-end use on various exterior surfaces. This includes properly prepared wood, masonry, cement board siding, vinyl, aluminum, and factory-primed siding. It is important to note that when painting vinyl siding, it is recommended not to use a color darker than the original siding to prevent warping.

Surface preparation should involve removing dirt, mildew, grease, wax, and soap residue, as well as any loose or peeling paint. Glossy areas must be sanded to dull them before priming. All bare or new wood, as well as factory-primed wood, should be primed with an oil-based primer, while masonry surfaces like cementitious siding should be primed with a latex primer.

Before application, it is advised to stir or mix the paint and intermix all containers for color uniformity. High-quality brushes, rollers, or pad painters can be used for application, with the option to thin the paint with water if needed for spraying. Avoid overspreading and ensure the temperature is above 50°F (10°C). The average coverage is 400 sq. ft. (37 sq. meters) per gallon (3.78 L). For optimal performance, apply two coats of paint on new surfaces after priming, and do not use the paint indoors.

Dry time typically ranges from 1 to 2 hours, with overnight drying recommended before adding another coat. Cleanup can be done with warm water and soap. A semi-gloss finish, while more reflective than satin, is not as shiny as gloss. This finish brightens the appearance of walls, particularly enhancing off-whites and pale shades of lighter colors. Semi-gloss finishes are ideal for high-humidity areas and are easy to clean.

Prestige Paints utilizes proprietary base paints and tints to create and match colors, working closely with industry leaders in paint color matching. However, it is essential to note that they are not offering the actual branded color or paint product for sale, and are not associated with the color-referenced brand. Actual paint colors may vary due to sheen, light, surface, and application method. Prestige Paints has developed a comparable color based on industry-leading technology and color specifications of the original color.
