The key to successfully applying Modern Masters Metallic Paint with a roller is the ability to “back-roll” the finish before it dries. Because of the high solids (pigments and binders) content and low VOC (volatile organic compound) content in Modern Masters Metallic Paint, the addition of a slow-drying EXTENDER is necessary. Extender for Rolling gives extra “wet-edge” time, without thinning or compromising the integrity of the Metallic Paint. 

APPLICATION METHODS: To roll Metallic Paint CollectionTM colors, add up to 16 oz./473 ml of Extender for Rolling to one gallon/3.78 L of Metallic Paint. This addition extends the “wetedge” time necessary to avoid lapping. Use the Modern Masters Metallic Paint Roller for large surfaces. Use a 4” “sausage roller” (e.g. Whizz™) with a 1/2” nap for cutting in corners, ceilings and baseboards. Work in approximately 4’ wide sections. Keep a “wet-edge” and finish the surface by back-rolling in one direction, ceiling to floor. 

DRY TIME: 16 fl. oz./473 ml of Extender for Rolling mixed with one gallon/3.78 L of Metallic Paint gives approximately 1/2 hour of “wet-edge” time; 1 hour until recoat; 5 hours until dry-to-touch; and 48 hours for full cure. (Drying times were recorded at 75°F/24°C and 73% R.H.) 

CLEAN UP: Clean brushes, rollers, tools and equipment with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Promptly wipe up spills and splatters with a damp cloth. 

HANDLING & STORAGE: When not in use, close container tightly and store at room temperature. Protect from freezing and extreme heat. If contents freeze, allow thawing at room temperature. Do not reuse container and dispose of  unused or unwanted product in accordance with local laws regulating water base coatings.

HEALTH & SAFETY: Use in a well ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after use. Do not take internally. Read the Material Safety Data Sheet for Additional Health and Safety Information.
