85° Gloss – Flat (4-8) 

Theme Paint is also available as a tintable system (TP20000-series), which includes 3 tint bases and 15 light-fast colorants. This system can be used to create an infinite array of colors for any project. 

Tinting – All Theme Paint Pre-Mixed Colors can be intermixed to create custom colors. Do not use universal colorants to tint or shade product unless color fading is acceptable. Theme Paint 20000 series Colorants can be used to tint or shade the pre-mixed colors without affecting lightfastness. 

Dry Times – Dry-to-touch is approximately 30 minutes. Recoat time is approximately 1 hour. Note: Dry times were recorded at 6 mil wet film thickness on a sealed surface at 75°F and 70% RH. Lower temperature and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry and cure times. 

Coverage – Theoretical yield is 320 to 400 square feet/30 to 37 square meters per 1 gallon/3.78 liters at 1.5 – 2 mils dry film thickness per coat. A minimum of 2 coats are required for hide and full color development. 

Material VOC: Theme Paints are compliant under SCAQMD Rule: 1113 and contains <50 grams per liter of VOC, regulatory measurement. The VOC content for each color is available upon request. Theme Paints contain No Hazardous Air Pollutants. 

Clean Up – Clean brushes, rollers, tool, and equipment with soap and warm water immediately after use. Do not reuse containers and properly dispose of empty containers. 

Protective Clear Coating – In certain applications, Theme Paint may require the use of Modern Masters Exterior Dead Flat Varnish. As a protective topcoat, it improves weather ability and provides additional UV protection for Theme Paint decorated surfaces. The painted surface must be fully cured (approximately 24 hours) prior to application. For best results and maximum protection, a minimum of two (2) coats of varnish is recommended. 

Surface Preparation – Follow standard practices and procedures for properly preparing surfaces for the application of traditional water-based acrylic paint. All surfaces to be painted must be entirely free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Completely remove all loose, flaking, or chalking paint from the surfaces. Use a NIOSH approved respirator when sanding and when working with old, loose paint particles. Provide adequate ventilation. Properly prime the clean, dry surface with a primer from our recommended list of primers and allow the surface to dry completely—preferably overnight. Note: Lower temperature and higher humidity will lengthen the dry and cure times of primers.

Application Conditions – Do not apply in temperatures below 50°F/10°C or above 85°F/29°C. Note: Lower temperatures and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry and cure times. Higher temperatures and/or lower humidity will speed up the dry and cure times. 

Application – Modern Masters Theme Paint can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed onto any paintable, properly primed, interior or exterior surface. Stir the paint well before using. 

Brushing: Use a high-quality brush recommended for water-based paints. 

Rolling: When rolling, work in approximately 4-foot wide sections, keeping a wet edge. 

Spraying: To spray Theme Paint Flat, use an Airless spray unit or an Air-Assisted Airless spray unit. Use equipment manufacturer’s recommended tip sizes for latex paint. Thin as needed—but carefully—as overthinning may result in loss of hide and a reduction of the desired appearance. We recommend thinning 10% with water. When spraying, use a properly-fitted NIOSH approved respirator per the manufacturer’s instructions 

Color Washes – Theme Paint is specially formulated for making diluted color washes. Dilutions of approximately 5 parts water to 1 part paint are used for layering and creating unique appearances such as stonework, with a maximum dilution of 10 parts water to 1 part paint.
