Preparation

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dirt, dust, grease, oil, soap, wax, scaling paint, water soluble materials, and mildew.

Remove any peeling or scaling paint and sand these areas to feather edges smooth with adjacent surfaces. Glossy areas should be dulled. Drywall surfaces must be free of sanding dust.
Spot prime before and after filling nail holes, cracks, and other surface imperfections.
New plaster or masonry surfaces must be allowed to cure (30 days) before applying base coat. Cured plaster should be hard, have a slight sheen and maximum pH of 10; soft, porous or powdery plaster indicates improper cure. Never sand a plaster surface; knife off any protrusions and prime plaster before and after applying patching compound.
Poured or pre-cast concrete with a very smooth surface should be etched or abraded to promote adhesion after removing all form release agents and curing compounds.
Remove any powder or loose particles.
Difficult Substrates: Benjamin Moore offers a variety of specialty primers for use over difficult substrates such as plaster, bleeding woods, grease stains, crayon markings, hard glossy surfaces, galvanised metal or other substrates where paint adhesion or stain suppression is a particular problem. See Datasheet for more information.

Application

Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results

Stir thoroughly before and during use
Apply one or two coats
Regal Select is self‐priming on most surfaces. While the high quality of Benjamin Moore products sometimes makes one‐coat coverage achievable, Benjamin Moore recommends two coats of this product to achieve full colour development and to maximise paint film performance. On bare substrates, two coats are recommended; previously painted surfaces can be finished with 1 or 2 coats.
For best results, use a premium Benjamin Moore custom-blended nylon/polyester brush, premium Benjamin Moore roller, or a similar product
Apply paint generously from unpainted area into wet area
