When you're in the field, it's tempting to try to mix colorants together to create a unique look and color for your customer. The problem is trying to create that color down the line if the customer wants to add on to a surrounding area, or just has a touch up to do.
When your customer needs a specific color, the best thing to do is consult with the Sherwin Williams, exterior paint chart to determine the color the customer wants. Once you have the color, call into our offices with the number and we can match that color with our 190 colorants. This will keep the color consistent whenever you need it.
During the cooler months, remember the temperature ranges for installing the CTi products outside. When using the standard Hallmark products, the temperatures need to be at least 40 degrees and rising during the installation phase. Once the product is dry, it is OK for the product to go below freezing but you need to be above 40 degrees during installation. Also remember to use Quick Set Modifier (Series 111) with the red top. This modifier will help your grout mix for your skim coat set up quicker during the cooler months.
When using epoxies (i.e. Durafleck binder), the temperature needs to be above 50 degrees during installation.
