SEM Phantom White Acrylic Paint 12 oz Gloss Fade Resistant Color Coat

Description

Product Overview

SEM’s Phantom White acrylic color coat is engineered to provide a professional‑grade, high‑gloss finish that stands up to the rigors of daily traffic and environmental exposure. Formulated with a premium acrylic resin system, the paint delivers a uniform, smooth surface that resists UV‑induced fading, ensuring the pristine white appearance endures for years. The 12 oz (350 ml) can is sized for both hobbyist projects and larger scale applications, offering a balance of coverage and control that lets users achieve consistent results without over‑application. The gloss finish not only enhances visual appeal but also adds a protective layer that helps guard against scuffs, stains, and minor abrasions, making it an ideal choice for high‑visibility areas.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this color coat performs exceptionally on a wide range of substrates, including carpet, vinyl, plastic, and fabric. Whether you are refreshing a commercial carpet in a lobby, restoring the sheen of a vinyl floor in a residential kitchen, or adding a protective layer to outdoor fabric awnings, the product adapts to the material’s unique absorption characteristics. The fast dry time of approximately 30 minutes allows for rapid project turnaround, while the low coverage rate gives you the flexibility to build up layers for deeper gloss or to achieve a subtle sheen, depending on the desired aesthetic. The formulation is suitable for both indoor environments—such as office spaces, schools, and homes—and outdoor settings where exposure to sunlight and moisture is a concern, provided the surface is properly prepared.

FAQ

What surfaces can I apply Phantom White to?

Phantom White is compatible with carpet, vinyl, plastic, and fabric surfaces. For best results, clean the substrate thoroughly, remove any waxes or oils, and lightly sand porous areas to promote adhesion. The paint adheres well to both porous and non‑porous materials when proper surface preparation is followed.

How many coats are recommended for optimal gloss?

Most users achieve a satisfactory finish with two thin coats. If a deeper gloss is desired, a third light coat can be applied after the second coat has fully cured. Allow at least 30 minutes between coats to ensure proper drying and film formation.

Is the paint suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the product is formulated for indoor and outdoor applications. While it is not waterproof, the acrylic resin provides a degree of water resistance suitable for shaded or covered outdoor areas. For exposed locations, consider applying a clear topcoat designed for UV protection to extend longevity.

Can I use Phantom White on previously painted surfaces?

Absolutely. The paint can be applied over existing acrylic or latex paints after proper surface cleaning and light sanding. If the underlying paint is glossy, a deglossing primer may be used to improve adhesion and prevent peeling.

What safety precautions should I observe while applying?

Work in a well‑ventilated area and wear protective gloves and eye protection. Although the formulation is low‑VOC, prolonged inhalation of aerosolized particles should be avoided. Keep the product out of reach of children and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Performance and Application Tips

When applying Phantom White, use a high‑quality synthetic brush, roller, or spray gun to achieve an even coat. For large floor areas, a low‑nap roller helps distribute the paint uniformly without creating brush marks. Maintain ambient temperature between 60°F and 80°F (15°C‑27°C) and relative humidity below 70% to ensure optimal drying and film formation. Mixing the paint gently before use helps re‑suspend any settled pigments, guaranteeing consistent color and gloss across the entire surface.

For fabric applications, pre‑test a small inconspicuous area to verify colorfastness and flexibility. After the final coat, allow the coating to cure for at least 24 hours before subjecting the surface to heavy traffic or moisture. This curing period enhances the cross‑linking of the acrylic polymer, resulting in a tougher, more resilient finish.
