Madison Paint

Madison Paint has a very high solids content which results in more surface coverage per gallon, and a lower cost per square foot. We use high quality ground pigments which give you better color retention and longevity for a high quality end product. It is a very low odor paint that sprays on smooth, and is easy to touch up. Madison Paint is self-priming and has very good adhesion. It produces early water resistance; it will adhere to both chalky and weathered surfaces, and it won’t flake or peel. You can expect consistent colors.

For use on wood, concrete blocks, pre-primed metal, primed siding, cement board, storage sheds, barns and houses.

Application Instructions

Temperature
The ideal room and product temperature is between 60- 80 degrees. Warmer room air temperatures may cause the coating to dry too quickly at the edges of the spray fan causing a dusty over spray. Cooler temperatures will slow drying times. The Madison Paint temperature should be similar to the room temperature for best results. Substrate temperature should be consistent with the room and coating temperature. The siding must be dry and free of dirt or dust. Consistent temperatures of the spray room, coating and substrate are important for the proper application of Madison Paint.

Equipment
Spray equipment must be maintained and working properly for best results. We recommend using a 517 tip. Equipment recommendations are general and can vary with the personal preferences and requirements of each person doing the application. We recommend that those doing the application experiment with different tips and find what works best for your situation and circumstances.

Application

We recommend a two coat application process. Apply the first light coat and wait until it’s dry then apply a second coat. Begin by making sure your sprayer pressure is correct. Spray a test panel and lower the sprayer pressure until there are fluid streaks at the outside edge of the spray fan. Gradually increase the pressure until the streaks go away. Make a note of the pressure for future reference.

Different sprayers may require different pressures so be sure to test a new or different sprayer before spraying a barn.

Apply the first coat with even, up and down strokes holding the spray fan in the center of each groove in the siding. Fan width and coating volume may vary a little depending on your tip and equipment but with the recommended tip sizes there should be very little difference. Wait until the first coat has dried then apply the second coat.

Ventilation
Ventilation of the spray room is critical for timely drying of Madison Paint. The spraying process of this waterborne coating creates moisture in the air that needs to be ventilated out of the room for quicker drying. Air movement needs to be through and out of the spray room, not just around the spray room. The best way to do this is to have a fresh air intake of some kind, even if it’s a window or door, and exhaust fans at the other end of the room blowing air to the outside. The more moisture you move out of the spray room with ventilation the quicker the coating will dry. The less air you move through the longer it will take to dry. Humid and colder air will slow drying times.
