Use and Care Manual

California Paints ALLFLOR Porch, Patio and Floor Enamel Paint

GENERAL SURFACE PREPARATION

AllFlor must be applied to a properly prepared sound surface.

Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt and dust.

Dirty surfaces should be washed with a strong detergent solution, rinsed with clean water and allowed

to dry overnight.

Grease, oils and wax should be removed by solvent cleaning to insure proper adhesion of the finish

paint.

All old, loose, scaly or flaking paint must be removed back to a sound substrate before any repainting is

attempted.

New concrete should be allowed to cure a minimum of 30 days before applying any finish.

Steel troweled, hard, glossy, smooth, and sealed concrete (curing agents or sealers) should be

mechanically abraded or acid etched to create a profile to obtain proper adhesion.

Water droplets should immediately penetrate concrete to determine if coating is possible. Note: To

ensure proper surface preparation refer to SSPC-SP13/NACE

APPLICATION

Material is supplied ready to use but can be thinned up to one pint per gallon with water for first coat

on new surfaces or for spot - priming bare areas on old finishes. Finish coat should be applied full body.

Do not paint when rain or dew is imminent.

CLEAN UP

A mixture of warm water and mild soap is the best cleaning solution for water-based paints. Prepare

soapy water and pour into a clean container. Dip the paint brush into the mixture, working the soap

through the brush bristles. Follow with a clear water rinse. Repeat the process if necessary. Always use a

clean container with clean soapy water and follow with a clear water rinse. For stubborn water-based

paints, try mineral spirits or lacquer thinner, followed by warm soapy water and a clear water rinse.

PRECAUTIONS Do not add solvents, oils or colors in oil, or mix with other paint types. Do not apply when air or surface temperature is below 50° F or when drying conditions are poor. Keep from freezing. Do not use on garage floors. Hot tires or the weight of a vehicle can cause loss of adhesion. Do not apply over water, glass or other silicate concrete hardeners. Not recommended on areas utilizing heavy duty lift trucks. Refer to Safety Data Sheet for additional health and safety information.
