Krylon H2O
Krylon H2O is an exciting breakthrough in spray paint technology. Its
patented low-odor water-based latex formula allows the user to paint
indoors and the soap and water clean up makes messes a thing of the
past. Fast dry, durable finish. Spray able indoors and outdoors. Use on wood, metal, wicker, paper, masonry, drywall, wrought iron, and rubber. One can covers up to 25 sq. ft. on a solid, primed surface.
The most important step to surface preparation is to be sure that the surface is clean, dull and dry. Ordinary household detergent or mineral spirits usually do the job.
There should not be any flakes of paint or rust on your surface
before priming or painting. Be sure to remove any loose paint or rust
with a wire brush, sandpaper or steel wool.
Your surface should also appear dull or matte. Lightly sand glossy
surfaces with fine grain sandpaper and wipe clean with a tack cloth.
When working with wood
Sand bare wood smooth with medium to fine grain sandpaper. Wipe
clean with a tack cloth to remove dust. Spray with primer to seal the
surface if desired. Lightly sand glossy surface if previously painted
and remove dust with a tack cloth. Outdoor wood should always be primed
before painting for greatest durability.
When working with metal
Remove loose rust with a wire brush, sandpaper or chemical rust
remover. Remove oil with a degreaser or denatured alcohol especially on
new metal. Prime surface to protect against rust and corrosion. Lightly
sand glossy surface if previously painted and remove dust with a tack
cloth. Outdoor metal should always be primed before painting for
greatest durability.
When working with plastic
For old plastic, use an ammonia-based cleaner and wipe down to clean
surface. If the plastic is new, wipe down with paint thinner for best
results. Lightly sand glossy surface if previously painted and remove
dust with a tack cloth. When dry, apply Krylon® Fusion for Plastic
according to the directions on the can.
When working with wicker
Wicker should be clean, dull and dry prior to painting. Lightly sand
glossy surface if previously painted and remove dust or prime. Outdoor
wicker should always be primed before painting for greatest durability.
When working with glass or ceramic
Lightly sand with fine grain sandpaper so that surface will not be
slick - this allows paint to adhere better. Wipe clean with a tack
cloth. Apply a primer to further improve adhesion (glass will no longer
be transparent if a primer is used).
