Rodda Super II Acrylic Interior Eggshell delivers contractor-friendly application with best-in-class touch-up capabilities and superior adhesion to both porous and non-porous surfaces. This 100% acrylic latex performs where it matters most — hiding imperfections, matching previous coats seamlessly, and sticking to surfaces that cheaper paints won’t touch.
The < 50 g/L VOC content makes it suitable for Montana’s tight, well-insulated homes where air exchange rates stay deliberately low through long winters. At 30 minutes dry to touch, crews can move through rooms quickly during the state’s compressed construction season.
Technical Performance That Matters
The 95-100 KU viscosity hits the sweet spot for workability — thick enough to minimize spatter, thin enough to flow smoothly off the brush. Coverage runs 310-420 square feet per gallon, depending on surface texture and application method.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Sheen (60°) | 10-16 |
| Sheen (85°) | 15-25 |
| Volume Solids | 38% ± 2% |
| Weight Solids | 52% ± 2% |
| Dry to Touch | 30 minutes |
| Recoat Time | 4-8 hours |
| Application Range | 50-95°F |
Application temperature range of 50-95°F works for Montana’s variable conditions, though that lower limit gets tested in spring and fall. Humidity needs to stay under 90% — rarely an issue in Montana’s dry climate.
Where Super II Earns Its Keep
This paint handles drywall, masonry, wood, plaster, and properly prepared metal. That versatility matters when you’re painting everything from new drywall to hundred-year-old plaster in historic Montana homes. The paint & primer-in-one formulation saves a coat on most surfaces, though bare wood and stained surfaces still need proper priming.
Professionals praise application, hide, and touch-up qualities. The touch-up performance stands out — patches blend invisibly into existing paint, even months after the original application. That’s gold for contractors doing punch list work or homeowners fixing nail pops after the house settles through its first Montana winter.
For spray application, use airless equipment with .011-.015 tips. Roll it on with 3/8-3/4 nap rollers, adjusting nap length for surface texture. Polyester brushes work best for cutting in.
The Bottom Line on Super II
MPI certifications #52, #139, #141, and #138 confirm this paint meets commercial standards. LEED v4.1 compliance satisfies green building requirements. The 1-year limited warranty against defects covers replacement or refund — standard coverage for professional-grade interior paint.
Super II shines for repaint work where touch-up performance matters. The combination of excellent flow and leveling with stain and burnish resistance makes it particularly suited for kitchens/bathrooms and other high-traffic areas. At 10.18-11.63 pounds per gallon, it’s properly loaded with solids for serious hide and durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Super II different from standard interior paints? Best-in-class touch-up performance sets it apart. Patches blend seamlessly even months later. The superior adhesion to both porous and non-porous surfaces means it sticks where others fail.
How long does Super II need between coats? Recoat time runs 4-8 hours depending on temperature and humidity. In Montana’s dry climate, you’re usually looking at the shorter end of that range.
Can Super II go directly over existing paint? Yes, with proper prep. Clean, dry surfaces and scuff-sanding of glossy areas ensures good adhesion. The paint & primer-in-one formula bonds well to previously painted surfaces.
What’s the shelf life of unopened Super II? 3 years shelf life when stored between 40-90°F. Protect from freezing — critical for Montana storage conditions.
Does Super II work for commercial projects? Absolutely. MPI certifications and < 50 g/L VOC content meet commercial standards. It’s designed for institutional/commercial/residential applications.
