Features

Medallion Exterior Oil Primer is the perfect base coat for all oil and latex house paints, adding long-lasting protection to your home as it resists weather-related problems such as peeling and blistering. Gives mildew resistant coating that helps promote topcoat adhesion as it seals and primes exterior surfaces.

Coverage

One gallon covers up to 400 sq. ft. (37.2 m²) depending on surface porosity. Do not thin.

Where to Use

Use on properly prepared exterior surfaces such as hardboard siding and trim, bare wood and previously painted, unprimed wood siding and trim, bare redwood, cedar, cypress, fir or gummy pine.

Preparing the Surface

Clean and dry the surface thoroughly, removing all dirt, dust, rust and grease. On bare wood, prime the entire surface with this product. On hardboard siding, remove any wax from bleed-through areas by wiping with a mineral spirits soaked cloth, turning the cloth often.

Warning

PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop.
