Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepped. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. For highly porous materials, consider applying a primer before painting.
Uneven color or streaking after application.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats, and allow proper drying time between coats. Consider using a higher-quality brush or roller.
Paint chipping or peeling after a short period.
The surface may not have been adequately prepared, or the paint did not have enough time to cure fully. Ensure the surface is free of contaminants and allow at least 72 hours for full curing before exposing to heavy use or moisture.
Metallic finish appears dull.
Ensure the paint was thoroughly mixed to distribute the metallic pigments evenly. Apply in good lighting conditions to ensure consistent coverage. Metallic finishes can sometimes appear less reflective when applied too thickly or over a non-compatible base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, or loose debris. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For very porous surfaces like unprimed concrete or terracotta, consider applying a suitable primer first. For metal, ensure any existing rust is removed and prime if necessary using a metal-specific primer for optimal results.
Application: Stir paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. Two thin coats are generally recommended for best coverage and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 1-2 hours, depending on conditions. Full cure typically takes 72 hours.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with concrete, terracotta, masonry, wood, metal, plastic, and glass. It is not recommended for use on flexible surfaces or fabrics.
Care: Clean up tools and spills immediately with soap and water. For maintaining the painted finish, simply wipe surfaces clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which can damage the protective coating.
