KILZ TRIBUTE® Trim, Door & Cabinetry Interior/Exterior Semi-Gloss Paint

Where to Use

• Ideal for properly prepared and primed interior and exterior surfaces such as; Walls, Ceilings, Wood, Engineered Wood, Architectural Plastics, Drywall/Gypsum Board, Plaster, Concrete, Stucco, Masonry, Brick, Concrete Masonry Units, Steel, Galvanized Steel, Aluminum, Other Metals.

Priming

• For best results, use two coats on lightly stained, porous and repaired surfaces. For heavily stained surfaces, we recommend applying a coat of primer such as KILZ® PREMIUM Primer/sealer/stainblocker.

Surface Preparation

All surfaces must be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease, wax, polish, mold and mildew stains, loose and peeling paint, rust and all other foreign substances.

• Wood: WARNING! Sanding or scraping pressure treated lumber may be hazardous; wear appropriate protection. Remove mill glaze with sandpaper. Set nails and fill holes, scratches, and gouges with the appropriate wood filler and let dry completely. Remove all dust with a wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a paintable caulking and allow to completely dry prior to coating.

• Drywall: All drywall surfaces should be sufficiently sanded smooth. Remove any remaining drywall dust prior to priming. Allow all drywall compounds to be completely dry prior to coating.

• Masonry: All masonry surfaces must be cured at least 30 days before painting. The pH must be 10 or lower prior to coating. Remove bond breakers and all form release and curing agents. Smooth masonry may require an adequate profile for adhesion. For all other smooth trowel concrete, create an adequate profile for adhesion using a product such as muriatic acid etcher or with mechanical means. Remove all loose aggregate and debris. If painting cannot wait 30 days or pH level is above 10, allow the surface to cure 7 days and prime the surface with an alkali-resistant primer.

• New Plaster: New plaster should be thoroughly dried out and cured for a minimum of 30 days before painting. When cured, clean using a mixed solution of one part vinegar and one part water to remove efflorescence and neutralize. Prime the area with an alkali-resistant primer.

• Previously Painted Plaster: Remove all loose and peeling paint and all other foreign substances. Clean any dirt and grease by scrubbing the surface with a detergent and water solution, followed by a thorough rinsing with clean water. Set nails and fill holes, scratches, and gouges with the appropriate spackling material and let dry completely and sand smooth. Remove all dust with a tack or wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a paintable caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to coating.

• Steel: Minimum surface preparation is Hand Tool Cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP2. Remove all oil and grease from the surface with a solvent in accordance with SSPC-SP1. For optimal performance, use Commercial Blast Cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP6. Prime the area with a rust-inhibitive primer the same day as cleaned.

• Galvanized Steel: Solvent clean new galvanized metal in accordance with SSPC-SP1 to remove oil and grease from the surface. Pre-treat with a phosphoric acid solution or a commercially-available etching solution. Galvanized metal that has been passivated with chromates or silicates may require brush blasting in accordance with SSPC-SP16 to remove these treatments. Rusty galvanizing requires a minimum of Hand Tool Cleaning in accordance with SSPCSP2. Prime the area the same day as cleaned.

• Aluminum: Remove all oil and grease from the surface with a solvent in accordance with SSPC-SP1. Prime the area the same day as cleaned.

• Stain-Blocking: For unpainted or heavily stained surfaces, prime using a product such as KILZ® PREMIUM Primer/sealer/stainblocker. After priming, test for stain bleed-through by applying the topcoat to a small section. If the stain bleeds through the topcoat, apply a second coat of primer and test again before top coating the entire area. If bleeding continues, a longer dry time of the primer may be needed before top-coating.
• Previously Painted Surfaces: Remove all loose and peeling paint and all other foreign substances. Clean any dirt and grease by scrubbing the surface with a detergent and water solution, followed by a thorough rinsing with clean water. Set nails and fill holes, scratches, and gouges with the appropriate wood filler and let dry completely. Remove all dust with a tack or wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a paintable caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to coating. Prime using a product such as KILZ® PREMIUM Primer/sealer/stainblocker.
• Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff and sand the surface thoroughly to provide a rough surface before coating.

Application

• Two (2) coats are required for optimum protection.
• Thinning: DO NOT THIN. Product is formulated for use at package consistency.

• For best results, apply when air, material and surface temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F. Temperatures above 90°F can cause the paint to dry too fast, whereas temperatures below 50°F can inhibit proper film formation.

• Allow one week before washing or cleaning for full cure. The best approach to washing or cleaning the painted surface is to start with the least aggressive method, i.e., water on a soft cellulose sponge.

• Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers of the same product to ensure color and sheen uniformity.

• Use a high quality nylon brush for best results
  Roller: 1/4" nap roller cover

• Airless Spray: Tip: .013" – .015", Filter: 60 mesh, Fluid Pressure: 1,400 – 2,400 psi
