Use on: New or existing primed interior walls, trim and ceilings. Primed substrates include sheetrock, fully-cured plaster (below 10 pH), masonry, woodwork, trim, doors, baseboards and metal.
Pro tip: Account for enough primer and paint to cover the walls and ceilings for a space.
Coverage: One gallon of Healthier Homes Real Zero VOC Interior Paint covers approximately 350 square feet per coat. This paint is self leveling for a smooth finish.
Surface preparation: Surfaces should be sanded and free of dirt, grease, mildew and oil. Before application, clean the surface with pressurized air or wipe with an odorless, natural and dye-free all-purpose cleaner. We recommend Healthier Clean All Purpose Cleaner, formulated for use prior to primer and paint application.
To achieve a consistent finish, the surface should be evenly primed with Healthier Homes New Construction Primer or Healthier Homes Reno + Remodel Primer.
- Note: Surfaces painted with water- or oil-based finishes should be scraped, cleaned and sanded. Healthier Homes Reno + Remodel Primer is needed prior to paint application.
Application: Achieve the best finish with one primer coat and two finish coats of natural house paint.
- Before using, stir well.
- Multiple thin coats are recommended.
- For full-coverage application, overlap preceding application with ¼ to ½ the fan width.
- Do not overwork the surface after the paint is applied. Brush lines will disappear after the second coat is dry!
- Let each coat dry for 8 hours in an HVAC conditioned space between applications.
Always ensure adequate ventilation. Do not apply on cold, humid days and/or if the surface, air or container temperature is below 55°F. Turning on the HVAC following application is recommended for proper curing. Paint may be thinned with clean water only. Do not use paint thinner with Healthier Homes eco friendly indoor paint.
Rolling specs: Apply with a new, clean, high-quality bristle brush or paint roller.
Spraying specs: Use an airless sprayer and painter's masks to avoid accidental inhalation. A 311 spray tip works best. Reduce paint with up to 1/2 pint of clean water per gallon as needed. Remove the internal filters from the spray machine before application. For best coverage, spray 18" from surface.
Recoating and Dry Time: Under normal conditions, Healthier Homes Real Zero VOC paint can be recoated after 4 hours. For best results, wait at least 8 hours before recoating. Normal conditions include a dry surface, fresh air flow, moderate to low humidity, and temperatures above 55°F. Thick application, high humidity, or conditions other than normal may cause paint to dry slower and/or cure improperly.
Cleanup: Clean equipment while still wet. For best results, use a solution of Healthier Clean All Purpose Cleaner, which is formulated to remove our natural house paints. Mix with warm water.
No special disposal requirements: For disposal, leave the lids off so that unused product hardens. Dispose of it in your normal garbage.
