Overview:
The coping around the top edge of a pool, stairs and ladders is typically very durable, but it can discolor and age thereby diminishing the appearance. Ramuc’s Coping Spray Paint is used to brighten, restore the appearance and protect the existing coping material.
Surface Preparation:
Surface should be free of debris, chipping or peeling paint, grease, oil salt or contaminants. Apply 2 inch wide painter's tape along the edge of the coping to protect nearby surfaces from over-spray.
Application
Ideal air temperatures for application are between 50°-90° F. Surface temperatures should be at least 50° and no more than 90°F. If surface temperatures are over 90°, consider painting early in the morning or at night. Overnight drying temperatures MUST be at least 50°F. Do not paint when rain is imminent. If rain occurs during the drying process allow an extra day of dry time for each day of rain. Shake can vigorously for 1 minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. If mixing ball fails to rattle DO NOT STRIKE CAN. Shake often during use.
Apply Coping Spray Paint at the recommended coverage rate, holding can 10-16" from the surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Maintain even distance from the surface. Keep the can in motion while spraying.
Dry time 24 hours between coats. Applying two coats in one day or applying excessively heavy layers will lead to insufficient drying of the paint and soft or sagging paint film will result. Do not apply paint on extremely humid days (and over 90°) or when rain is threatening. When working in cooler temperatures be sure the air and surface temperatures will remain at orabove 50°F for at least 8 hours after application.
Remove painter's tape within 24 hours of applying the final coat of paint. Avoid using the pool for 24 hours following the paint application to avoid splashing water onto your freshly painted coping.
