TECHNICAL INFORMATION
FOR
USING JONES-BLAIR ACRYLITHANE C-HS 7:1
SERVICE STATIONS
Special Information: Interior Sales Area and Service Bay Finish Coat Options
Acrylithane should be used wherever possible because of its superior serviceability and
appearance. However, due to its strong solvent odor, it may be desirable to substitute the
Acrylithane in the sales area with Rust Not HP Acrylic Latex Gloss Enamel. This is a single
component, air dry latex which also offers very low odor and a hard gloss finish.
Mixing, Thinning, and Application Technique of Acrylithane C-HS 7:1 Urethane
Jones-Blair Acrylithane C-HS 7:1 (high solids) is a two component system and must be mixed.
An 7:1 mixing ratio is required. Mix one short filled gallon of Acrylithane base material with one
(1) pint of #99979 Acrylithane C-HS 7:1 Catalyst. Up to one (1) pint of #21092 thinner may be
added per gallon of mixed paint. Thinning is recommended for spray application. For brush and
roller application, thinning is not normally required. Apply Acrylithane only to thoroughly dry
surfaces. When applying at temperatures exceeding 80oF, addition of as much as three fluid
ounces (about one-fifth pint) of #21093 drying retardant per gallon of Acrylithane is
recommended. Use of drying retardant prevents dry spray and undesired fast drying on the
surface being covered as well as on brushes and rollers. For application in temperatures between
35 & 50oF, it is recommended that 1/4 ounce (2 capfuls) of #99011 Accelerator is added per
catalyzed gallon of Acrylithane C-HS 7:1. This will speed up the cure and dry time.
SPECIAL NOTES: (Very important)
1. Acrylithane may be applied over any urethane or factory finished florapolymer coating dulled
by sanding and priming with Ureprime Epoxy Urethane Primer #33010 White. Mix 3:1 ratio with
99951 catalyst or prime with 3090 White/3091 Gray Multi-Grip 2 Acrylic latex.
2. Use #33010 Ureprime with up to ½ ounce of #99011 Accelerator added in temperatures
between 35 & 45º F. DO NOT USE 3090 OR 3091 MULTI-GRIP 2 IN THOSE
TEMPERATURES.
3. DO NOT PAINT CANOPY COLUMN CLADDING MADE OF POLYPROPYLENE. PEELING
WILL OCCUR.
4. Acrylithane C-HS or HS2 must cure for 7 days prior to applying decals/graphics. Less than
that may cause blisters to develop under the vinyl from gases in the paint trying to escape.
5. PRIMERS ARE MANDATORY FOR THIS PROGRAM REGARDLESS OF THE EXISTING
COATING OR SURFACE. Top coat color will determine whether white or gray primer should be
used. Examples would be to use white under light gray, white, reds, yellows, greens
(Teal&Shamrock 2), or tan and use gray primer under darker grays, medium grays or black. This
will improve hide of the darker topcoats in many cases.
6. When applying Valero Yellow over a darker surface, such as Dark Gray (formerly
Mockingbird) or other dark colors, white primer must be used to completely hid/cover the
dark color. The same holds true for topcoat colors of red, some blues and other
transparent colors. This assures correct color and vibrancy with fewer coats of the
topcoat color.

TYPES OF SURFACES TO BE PAINTED
New Metal Surfaces (Iron and Steel)
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Remove mill
scale and rust by sandblasting. If sandblasting is not practical, clean surfaces with power tools or
by hand scraping and wire brushing. Prime with Jones-Blair Multi-Grip 2 White Primer or #3091
Gray. For maximum corrosion resistance in coastal areas, prime with Jones-Blair #33010
Ureprime. Apply two Acrylithane finish coats for desired appearance.
Previously Painted Metal Surfaces (Iron and Steel)
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Remove any rust
and loose paint by scraping and wire brushing. Apply primer to any areas cleaned to bare metal
the same as described for new metal surfaces. Most aged alkyd and urethane enamels will
accept a new Acrylithane topcoat without lifting. To reduce the potential for lifting an existing
coating, a barrier coat of #3090 White Acrylic Primer or #3091 Gray may be applied before
application of an Acrylithane finish coat. Do not use Jones Blair #33010 Ureprime as a barrier to
prevent lifting of an existing coating. This would be counter-productive because Ureprime
contains the same or comparable solvents as Acrylithane. Apply one or more Acrylithane finish
coats for desired appearance.
Aluminum and Galvanized Surfaces
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax and other foreign matter. Prime with JonesBlair #3090 Multi-Grip 2 Acrylic White or #3091 Gray Primers. Apply two Acrylithane finish coats
for desired appearance.
New Masonry Surfaces (Block, Concrete, Rough-Textured Brick, Etc.
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Fill all porous
surfaces with Jones-Blair #3781 Acrylic Latex Block Filler. Block filler is ready-mixed and may be
applied by brush, roller, or spray. For best results, spray and roller application should be followed
by brushing while the filler is still wet. Brushing will work the filler into pores and crevices to more
effectively prevent moisture penetration. A gallon of block filler will typically cover 50-150 square
feet depending on the surface. Use water for cleanup and thinning. For roller application, a 1/2
inch roller cover is recommended with block filler. Allow block filler to dry 24 to 48 hours before
applying finish coat. Apply two coats of Acrylithane for desired appearance.
*NOTE: Acrylithane may be applied over any urethane coating when dulled by sanding and
priming with #3090 White, 3091 Gray Multi-Grip 2 Acrylic latex or #33010 Ureprime Primer.
Previously Painted or Factory Applied Florapolymer Coatings
Acrylithane C-HS may be applied over urethane or factory finished florapolymer or other baked
enamel coatings dulled by sanding and applying Multi-Grip #3090 White, #3091 Gray or
Ureprime HS2 #33010 Urethane Primer. Ureprime is a two component product same as
Acrylithane topcoat.
Previously Painted Masonry Surfaces
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax and other foreign matter. Remove loose
and scaling paint by water blasting, scraping or wire brushing. If fillers are removed by cleaning
the surface, fill again as required with Jones-Blair #3781 Acrylic Latex Block Filler. Make any
necessary repairs with a concrete patching compound. Clean any chalky surfaces thoroughly
with detergent and water before application of topcoat. Let any wet surfaces dry thoroughly
before applying barrier or finish coats.
A barrier coat of Jones-Blair #3090 White Multi-Grip 2 Primer or 3091 Gray may be applied over
alkyd or latex coatings to reduce potential for lifting by Acrylithane topcoat. Most aged alkyd, latex
and urethane enamels will accept a new Acrylithane topcoat without lifting. Apply two coats of
Acrylithane for desired appearance.
New Stucco Surfaces
3
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter including loose
stucco. New stucco should be allowed to cure 1-2 weeks in good drying condition before applying
prime coat. Prime with #3090 White or 3091 Gray Multi-Grip 2 Latex Primer and topcoat with
Acrylithane C-HS.
Previously Painted Stucco Surfaces
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Remove and
repair any loose or damaged stucco. Clean any chalky surfaces thoroughly with detergent and
water before application of topcoat. Let any wet surfaces dry thoroughly before applying barrier or
finish coats.
A barrier coat of Jones-Blair #3090 White Multi-Grip 2 Primer or #3091 Gray may be applied over
alkyd coatings to reduce potential for lifting by Acrylithane topcoat. Most aged alkyd, latex and
urethane enamels will accept a new Acrylithane topcoat without lifting. Apply two coats of
Acrylithane.
Unpainted Glazed Brick and Porcelain
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Sand and apply
prime coat of Jones-Blair #3090 Multi-Grip 2 White or 3091 Gray primer. Apply two coats of
Acrylithane for desired appearance.
* Previously Painted Glazed Brick and Porcelain
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax and other foreign matter. Remove loose
and scaling paint by water blasting, scraping, or wire brushing. Sand and apply prime coat of
Jones-Blair #3090 White or 3091Gray Multi-Grip 2 Primer to any areas where previous coatings
are removed by cleaning and surface preparation operations. Additionally, to reduce the
potential for lifting an existing coating, a barrier coat of the #3090 White or 3091 Gray Multi-Grip 2
Primer may be applied before application of any Acrylithane finish coat. Most aged alkyd, latex
and urethane enamels will accept a new Acrylithane topcoat without lifting. Apply two coats of
Acrylithane for desired appearance.
Unpainted Common Brick
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Prime with
Jones-Blair #3090 White or 3091 Gray Multi-Grip 2 Latex where bridging of small cracks is
desired. Jones-Blair #3781 Acrylic Latex Block Filler may also be used for this purpose when
thinned with water. Apply two Acrylithane finish coats for desired appearance.
New Wood
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Fill cracks with
spackling paste. Ensure that surface is thoroughly dry before painting. Apply #3090 White or
#3091 Gray Multi-Grip 2 primers. Apply two coats of Acrylithane for desired appearance.
* Previously Painted Wood
Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax and other foreign matter. Remove loose
and scaling paint by scraping or wire brushing. Remove any mildew (wearing protective clothing,
gloves and safety goggles) by washing with a solution of household bleach, water and household
detergent (3 quarts water plus 1 quart bleach plus 1 cup detergent). Do not add ammonia to the
mixture. Rinse the washed surface thoroughly with clean water. Repair cracks with spackling
paste. Ensure that surface is thoroughly dry before painting. Most aged alkyd, latex and urethane
enamel will accept a new Acrylithane topcoat without lifting. To reduce the potential for lifting an
existing coating, a barrier coat of Jones-Blair #3090 White or 3091 Gray Prime may be applied
before application of an Acrylithane finish coat. Apply two Acrylithane finish coats for desired
appearance.

Jones-Blair Company™ PowerWashing Specifications
Power washing is required for all decks if repainting is required. Buildings and other
structures should also be power washed if they are to be painted.
Equipment
Power washing pumps should be capable of generating 3,000 to 4,000 psi and deliver 6-10
gpm of wash/rinse water.
Fan type spray tips give varying spray angles. Fan tips are considered to be "scrapers"
and/or "pushers". The spray tips used should be selected for this program should be based
on the area and surface to be cleaned. Do not use a round tip or what is commonly referred
to as a "shotgun", point tip or "0" tip. Round tips used with high pressure may result in
surface damage on wood, metal or masonry. This type of spray tip is considered to be a
"cutter".
High flow rate/low pressure machines will generally clean better than a low flow rate/high
pressure machine. Consult SSPC-SP12/NACE No. 5 "Surface Preparation and Cleaning of
Steel and Other Hard Materials by High and Ultrahigh Pressure Water Jetting Prior to
Recoating" for additional information.
Cleaning Agents
There is a number of cleaning agents or detergents that can be used in conjunction with
pressure washers. Cleaning agents can dramatically improve cleaning efforts. Consult the
manufacturer's recommendations based on the type of surfaces to be cleaned. Also
consider health, safety and environmental issues when selecting the appropriate cleaner.
Do not use any solutions that are caustic soda (causes pitting of aluminum), chlorine
(discolors all metals), strong alkaline (will damage painted surfaces) or acid type cleaners
that will deteriorate galvanized metal or etch glass. The best cleaning agent for common
soil types to remove grease, oil and dirt is a medium duty alkaline (pH of 8 to 12) at about
3% concentration by volume for painted metal, wood, and galvanized aluminum.
Regardless of the cleaning agents used, the surfaces cleaned must be thoroughly rinsed
with clear water to insure that the cleaning solution has been removed. Failure to
thoroughly remove the cleaning agent could result in poor paint adhesion when the
surfaces are painted. All power washed surfaces must be dry before painting.
Preparation and Power Washing
Cover all surfaces that might be damaged by power washing such as dispensers,
automobiles, light fixtures, cameras, foliage, etc. All surfaces should be scrubbed to
remove contaminants. Heavily stained areas may need pre-treatment. A minimum of two
passes is required: one with cleaning solution and the final rinse. All standing water
should be removed from the site to ensure that there are no remaining chemicals and to
avoid spotting.
Reclamation
Contractor is expected to comply with all regulations regarding the disposal of wash and
rinse water. Local or state regulations may not permit these waters into the site storm
drains or to be allowed to run off site. For those areas that do have special reclamation
requirements, contact the Project Manager
