- Check the conditions. Surface between 10 °C and 37.7 °C, more than 5° above the dew point, and no rain for 12 hours outside.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is Coronado MultApply?
A waterborne acrylic enamel from Benjamin Moore's Coronado line for primed metal, wood, masonry and drywall, inside or out. It's easy to use, dries quickly, levels well, and its acrylic resin gives good colour and gloss retention and adhesion. It's made for commercial, institutional, industrial and residential work.
Gloss or Semi-Gloss?
Gloss (1180, 70–80 @ 60°) is the hardest-wearing look for doors, frames, railings, equipment and safety markings. Semi-Gloss (1190, 35–45 @ 60°) has a softer shine for trim, doors and walls. Both have the same coverage and dry times.
What colours can I get?
Tinted to light Benjamin Moore colours in both sizes. Ready-mixed colours: White in Gloss or Semi-Gloss; Black in Gloss or Semi-Gloss, 3.79 L only; Safety Red and Safety Yellow in Gloss, 3.79 L only. Deep and CSP colours can't be tinted in this paint. For those, see Command. Ready-mixed colours can be returned; tinted paint is made to order, so it's final sale.
Can I paint metal with it?
Yes, once it's primed. On steel and iron, prime with a rust-preventive metal primer first, because MultApply is only rust-inhibitive over one. On galvanized metal and aluminum, use an acrylic metal primer or apply MultApply directly after cleaning, and dull shiny metal that will see wear. It isn't for immersion or high-corrosion areas.
Can I use it outside?
Yes. It's an interior/exterior enamel for doors, frames, railings, trim and masonry. It isn't made as a house paint for wood siding. Don't apply it within 5° of the dew point or if rain is expected within 12 hours.
How long does it take to dry?
Dry to the touch in 30 minutes and ready to recoat in 4 hours at 25 °C and 50% humidity. Benjamin Moore lists return to service at 10 days. Cool, humid weather takes longer.
How much do I need?
A 3.79 L can covers 350–450 sq ft per coat, and an 18.9 L pail about 1,750–2,250 sq ft. A standard 3 × 7 ft steel door is about 21 sq ft per side, so one can gives two coats on both sides of about four doors. Use the paint calculator above for walls.
Do I need a primer?
Yes on bare surfaces. Wood: an acrylic or alkyd undercoat like Fresh Start High-Hiding All Purpose, or Fresh Start Undercoater K032 on cedar and redwood. New drywall: an interior acrylic primer like Coronado PVA Primer. Rough block: a latex block filler. Steel and iron: a rust-preventive metal primer. Sand hard, glossy old paint. Ask us if you're not sure.
Can I spray it?
Yes. Use an airless sprayer at 1,500–2,500 PSI with a .013–.017 tip. Thin sparingly with clean water only if needed. Wash up with warm soapy water, and give spray equipment a final mineral spirits rinse to prevent rust.
Sizes and shipping?
3.79 L cans and 18.9 L pails in Gloss and Semi-Gloss. Pails are tinted to light colours or White. We ship across Canada, free on most orders over $249, or pick up free in Mississauga.
