| preparation, Application, and Evaluation | ||||
| For best paint sampling color results, a little preparation can go a long way. | ||||
| 1. Make sure the test surface is clean, dry, and in good repair. We recommend priming the surface with Fresh Start® Primer. | ||||
| Note: You will get the truest color rendition when the color sample is painted on a white background. For deep paint colors, we recommend purchasing a deep-based primer, available at your local Benjamin Moore retailer. Otherwise, you may need three to four coats of the sample paint to achieve the true finished color. | ||||
| 2. Use a drop cloth as you normally would when painting a wall. | ||||
| 3. Read the manufacturer's directions and warnings on the label before opening. | ||||
| 4. Use different areas of the wall to test different colors. For example, test one color on one side of a window, the other on the opposite side. | ||||
| 5. Using a bristle or sponge brush, apply two coats of your sample color on your wall. Note: Sponge brushes can be used for testing color, but are not recommended for completing an entire painting project. | ||||
| 6. To keep track of your tested colors, affix the peel-off color name on the bottom of the Color Sample package to the tested sample area. | ||||
| 7. Allow the test patches to dry for two hours for a true representation of the color. | ||||
| 8. Live with your color samples for a few days before you make a decision. You'll have a better sense of how the color looks during the day and evening. | ||||
| 9. When you make your final color choice, we recommend priming the walls with Benjamin Moore Fresh Start Primer to ensure that the test patches do not affect the finished look of the room. |
