Modern Masters – Metal Effects Permacoat
Xtreme™ is an all-in-one water-base,100% acrylic,
clear, non-yellowing protective sealer and top coat
designed to work over Metal Effects Rust Activated Iron
Paint. This innovative clear coat chemically arrests the
oxidized metal finish, minimizing any further corrosion,
and then self-crosslinks to create a weather resistant
barrier. Permacoat Xtreme is highly recommended to
seal the Metal Effects Rust finish on interior areas
where there may be contact to prevent rub-off and
exterior applications to prevent runoff of the finish onto
surrounding surfaces. Unlike other acrylic varnishes,
Permacoat Xtreme will form a film over the oxidized
surfaces without cracking or yellowing. Permacoat is pH
balanced to minimize the rust colors tendency to
deepen in color tone when using other non-
recommended clear coats.
Application – The rusted finish must be fully cured
prior to application (min. 24 hours). Make sure that the
air, surface, and product are all above 55°F and at least
5°F above the dew point before applying. Avoid
applying this product if rain or snow is expected in 72
hours or if the temperature is expected to drop below
55°F within 72 hours. Permacoat Xtreme can be
brushed, rolled or spray applied. Brushing: Use a high-
quality synthetic bristle brush. Rolling: Use a high-
quality short-nap varnish roller. Spraying: Use a HVLP
gun, conventional cup gun or airless spray system.
First coat: Add equal parts of Permacoat Xtreme with
water and stir well before applying.
Second coat: Apply Permacoat Xtreme at full strength.
Maximum two coats and dry film thickness of 2.0 mils is
recommended.
DO NOT USE OTHER SEALERS OR VARNISHES.
Always test a similar surface before applying to your
project. Do not apply in temperatures below
55°F/13°C or above 95°F/35°C.
Taping – Use high quality, low-tack tape when taping
over surfaces that have been previously painted with
Metallic Paint. When painting over taped-off areas be
aware that Metallic Paints exhibit poor early adhesion
properties and are elastomeric (they stretch) before
curing. Consider cutting along the tape edge with a
razor blade to avoid delaminating the fresh paint from
the substrate.
Dry Times – Dry to touch in 30 minutes. Recoat time is
approximately 1 hour. Full cure time is 7 to 10 days.
(Drying times were recorded at 70°F and 50%RH):
Note: Lower temperature and/or higher humidity will
lengthen the dry and cure times.
Coverage – One gallon/3.78 liters will cover
approximately 275 sq. ft./gal.; 24.75 m²/3.78 L applied
as directed. Do not exceed recommended 2 mil dry film
thickness.
Clean Up – Clean tools, brushes and equipment with
warm, soapy water immediately after use. Promptly
wipe up spills and splatters with a damp cloth.
