Features

Valspar Ultra Premium® Interior Latex Color Changing Ceiling Paint makes painting ceilings easy. Never miss an area again! This ceiling paint applies as a light purple color to easily indicate painted areas, yet dries to a white, non-glare finish. The matte flat sheen minimizes surface imperfections and gives a smooth, even finish to all ceiling surfaces - including acoustical tile!

Coverage

One gallon of paint covers up to 400 sq. ft. depending upon surface porosity. Coverage will be significantly less on rough, textured surfaces or acoustical tile.

Where to Use

Properly prepared durable texture or plain interior ceiling surfaces including previously painted and properly primed plaster, wallboard, sheetrock and acoustical tile. See surface preparation for "blown-on" soft-fibered ceiling surfaces.

Application

Note: To ensure uniform color, intermix all containers of the same color. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Use a premium quality roller or polyester brush. Paint the ceiling, rolling from dry area into wet using firm, crisscross strokes. Finish with long, even strokes in one direction. At first, the paint will be a light purple color allowing you to see where you have painted and if any areas need additional paint. This purple will disappear as the paint dries, being replaced by the customary white color.

Dry Time

Dries to the touch in 30 minutes, longer in high humidity or cool temperatures. Paint only when surface and air temperatures are 50-90°F during application and drying time. Allow to dry 4 hours before recoating.
