User questions & answers

Question:	What kind of primer do i need for an aluminum pool deck
Answer:	Thanks for reaching out! We would suggest the INSL-X Aqua Lock Primer for priming the aluminum pool deck. Please reach out to inslx. reviews @ gmail. com should you have any other questions.
Question:	Can this be used on diving boards
Answer:	Hello, we are unable to recommend Sure Step for utilization on a diving board. While it is a flexible latex coating, we have not explicitly tested it for such a purpose and you may experience cracking once the diving board is put back into use.
Question:	Can this be used on asphalt
Answer:	Hi, thanks for your question. Newly laid asphalt surfaces should be allowed to cure 45 to 60 days before coating. This curing time frame is necessary for all the solvents in the asphalt to evaporate. The surface must be free of dirt, loose gravel, oil or other foreign matter that could be detrimental to coating adhesion. Any oil or grease spots must be treated with an Oil and Grease Emulsifier. Best results for general preparation will be obtained by power washing; however, conscientious sweeping and water hose rinsing may suffice. Sure Step® is self – priming on bare asphalt.
Question:	How many coats are recommended for a previous stained deck
Answer:	For previously coated surfaces: Remove all dirt, dust, chalk, mildew or flaking paint by power washing. An alternate method is to scrape, wire brush, wash the surface with a solution of one part bleach to three parts water, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry. Sure Step may be easily applied by roller, brush or squeegee. Stir contents thoroughly to assure even dispersion of pigment. Apply product at a rate of 80 to 120 square feet per gallon. May be recoated in 8 hours under good drying conditions. Two coats of Sure Step are required for proper performance.
Question:	Do you have to apply the cool deck coats and then another clear sealer on top of that? What kind of clear sealer do you get
Answer:	The COO! pool deck BUNDLE comes with one gallon of Triple Crown Cleaner and a half gallon of the SealBack Clear Sealer. SealBack is a water based acrylic sealer that is engineered for sealing the COOL! coating itself. It's water thin, delivering great penetration. We recommend 2 GOOD coats of COOL in the morning hours before temperatures get too hot (use 3/4" nap rollers) , and 2 THIN coats of SealBack during the hottest part of the day(use 1/2" nap rollers)! The SealBack sealer loves to be applied in the bright sunshine for maximum cure. Thank you and reach out to us anytime! (888) 776-2242 .
Question:	How long does it take for the sealer to dry
Answer:	Hi. Thanks for your question. In a typical application, the sealer will be dry and open for foot traffic in one hour. However, you should not apply the sealer if rain is in the 24 hour forecast. Hope this helps! We appreciate your interest in our product.
Question:	Can this be used on a wooden deck
Answer:	Hi. No. Cool is only for concrete. Thanks for your interest in our product.
Question:	What type of paint and how much
Answer:	Add 1 gallon of paint to the product.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I also paint the bottom of my Starcraft aluminum boat with this? I need a white color. Thanks
Answer:	1. I don't think this is the right paint for aluminum or at a minimum, you will need a special "aluminum primer" paint (I think Rust-Oleum makes it). 2. I think for a boat that will stay in the water for much more than a typical 12 hour day each time it is used, you need professional equipment and paint to do the job, probably best left for marine shop.
Question:	can u paint a car whith this paint
Answer:	Yes! I've used the white and Oyster White, both successfully. The Oyster White is the closest match you can get to Old English White. The benefit of Topside is the UV protection. Be sure to cut the paint. I did 1 part paint, 3/4 part mineral spirits, and 1/4 part Penetrol (found at Home Depot, used to help the paint lay flatter). I applied the paint with a high density roller and foam brushes where the roller couldn't fit. Two coats, then wet sand with 600 wet/dry paper to remove Orange peel. Two coats, then sand with 800. Then two coats and wet sand with 1000. Two coats then wet sand with 1500. Two coats then wet sand with 2000. A lot of work, but worth the savings IMO. Good luck!There should be a picture of my car in the review section. This was my first attempt at it. I very recently used the Oyster White and others have been HIGHLY impressed.
Question:	Can this paint be sprayed in an hvlp gun
Answer:	Yes, according to directions on the container. Reduce with 10-15% xylene. Let dry 24 hours. Sand with #220 between coats.
Question:	Has anyone used this as a ceiling paint for a shower? For the tub / shower surround? What were the results? Thank you
Answer:	Yes! If you get the tub repair/ paint kit you're spending $30-$60 or more, and this does a better job at $15. Seriously can't beat it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone have any tips on how to mop and clean the surface after its dry? A regular mop isnt cutting it. I cant get dirt off of it
Answer:	Olympic Stain 52125-1 Premium Deck Cleaner, 1 Gallon
Question:	Will this adhear to my fiberglass boat floor.The finish is rough, with a non skid texture in the fiberglass
Answer:	Hi Jeremy, We would not recommend this product for fiberglass or a boat. Gel stains do much better on fiberglass and this product was not designed to be used as a marine coating.
Question:	Does it have a strong smell
Answer:	No more than the usual paint smell. Not objectionable to use. I painted a porch and deck so was outdoors. But, I would expect no problem to paint indoors. Just good practice to ventilate the area.
Question:	Can i paint my travertine stairs with this paint
Answer:	I would not. First of all, it is latex(water based) it will not hold up well on travertine. Secondly, WHY would you ever want to paint travertine? If the tile is porous, you will have to fill it with a cementitious fill and then paint it. If you DO paint it, I would prep it, fill it, prep again, and then use an EPOXY, one or two part, to completely cover and seal it. A good epoxy would be from Armorpoxy.com. Stay away from those big store brand garage floor epoxies.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i paint kitchen cabinets with this paint sprayer
Answer:	I didn't see any problem as low as you have the right paint. Just protect against over spray on things you don't want painted.
Question:	Is this electric or run by air
Answer:	Electric sprayer. But it is airless, you just plug it in to a 110 outlet...put the suction hose in a 5 gallon bucket of paint...and paint away!
Question:	If using outside, what sort of over spray does this create? I live on a busy street and don't want to end up getting cars parked nearby with overspray
Answer:	I've been a painter for over 20 yrs and used many sprayers, any paint atomized to spray will float 200 ft and stick to a car with very little breeze. Buy .01 mil plastic and cover any cars within 200 ft in the direction of any breeze, it the wind is blowing towards your back yard, paint quick before it changes direction. usually spray will settle within a 10 to 20 ft area from an outside wall with the most paint being in a 3 ft area below the wall. Plastic is cheaper than painting a nice car for someone else !!!
Question:	Can this spray benjamin moore advance paint (waterborne alkyd paint) unthinned? if yes, what size tip do i use
Answer:	The max spray tip is the key. I have a Graco X7 Magnum Pro and my max tip size is .017. This is found in the last two numbers of the number on the tip. So a tip marked 517 would mean that the spray tip orifice is .017. The “5” is half the width of the spray fan pattern. So the 517 tip would spray a pattern that is 10 inches wide (5 x 2) and would spray a paint that requires an .017 orifice which is a very thick paint. The orifice size requirement can be found in the paint specifications. This unit comes with a 515 tip, and I could not find the max tip size but I suspect this is it — .015 — which is a big orifice and can handle almost all latex or oil based paints but I would not use oil base in a sprayer because of clean up. Much easier to run water through it for clean up than mineral spirits. I am currently painting my deck and I’m using Sherwin-Williams Super Deck product which is thicker than normal paint, and I’m using a .015 spray tip. I’m using a 315 on the railings to limit overspray and conserve paint. The 315 will give me a 6” spray pattern and the .015 is within the manufactures specifications for this product. I could have used a .017 but it would have put out a lot more paint and made it a little more difficult to control overspray and conserve paint. I hope that helps. This is a great sprayer at a very good price, but follow the directions and make sure you clean it properly and use pump armor when stored.
Question:	Will it make Sharpies run if you use it over them on a hard/non porous surface
Answer:	In my yes.
Question:	Will this work on a porous surface like a painted coconut bicycle cup holder
Answer:	Probably not.
Question:	Will this work to water prof terra cotta pots
Answer:	Why would you want to waterproof terra cotta pots. They were made to breath.
Question:	How is the viscocity out of the can, is it more like warm syrup or more like water...or somewhere in between? Thank you
Answer:	Maybe Slightly Thinner than warm Syrup, So probably between Warm Syrup & Water. A word of advice though, I had an extremely difficult time working with this product & had to sand and reapply many coats to get a satisfactory finish. It dries fast & if you run a brush over it after is has sat more than a minute it will create rough brush marks. Additionally if you apply more than a very thin layer it will crack similar to a crackle pattern. Unless you are putting this over a pure white background I would recommend that you use the standard "Crystal Clear" non-water based urethane. It has only a light yellow tint and is much easier to work with in my experience.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this product support regular airless graco paint sprayer tips
Answer:	No this sprayer it’s compatible with the 2 tips it comes with. Thanks.
Question:	Can this model spray solid stain for say a fence or deck? Not the thinner semi-transparent or transparent stuff
Answer:	Here is what the manufacture says about stains:The TrueCoat 360 sprays all Paints and Stains! With one simple squeeze of the bag you are ready to go! Never in the history of painting has this much power been this simple to use. Thanks to its industry-first innovative FlexLiner paint bag technology, the TrueCoat 360 sprayer makes fast work of indoor and outdoor painting and staining projects. The latex paint I sprayed was about the thickest one can paint, and this gun did a wonderful job. Just keep in mind, I was told by our local paint dealer that once you use this with an oil base paint or stain, it will not work well if you want to use it later for latex.
Question:	can you spray automotive paint with this sprayer
Answer:	If it's not flammable and no thicker than latex paint, yes. But the spray tips aren't nearly fine enough for decent auto painting.
Question:	Does this sprayer come with a carrying case
Answer:	No, the TrueCoat 360 DSP and TrueCoat 360 VSP include a carrying case. Thanks

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the warranty on this
Answer:	I don't believe there is any warranty. We applied it two years ago and the covered areas still look good. The section in direct Sun...needs to have it applied again.
Question:	How long can the product be stored once the container is opened
Answer:	We actually used some that we had stored in our garage that was left over from the last time we stained our siding and that was in the summer of 2012, 6 yrs ago. When we removed the lid, it looked like it had become a gel but my husband used a drill with a paint mixer/stirrer tool and it became liquefied again. We applied it to the siding without incident and the color matched the new 5 gallon containers we bought this summer .
Question:	I have 275 ft of fence plus a gate- what's the coverage with using a sprayer
Answer:	I’m in the process of staining my fence (I am using a different brand) with a semi-transparent stain. I have 187’ of fence at 5’ high including 2 gates. Applied with a roller and brush, I’m going to need around 13 gallons. My recommendation is rent a sprayer from Home Depot. You’ll save time and money as you’ll use less product and it will go much much faster.
Question:	we have a heavy dining set and i am worried about scratches after i stain, how does it hold up to heavy chairs moving back and forth
Answer:	I have a deck/patio furniture set, including a cast iron umbrella base. Lots of use over the last year with no evidence of scratches in the deck. The stain penetrates the wood rather than building a barrier so dragging stuff across the boards won't take it off provided the wood is properly prepared.
