Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, and primed. Check for any residual moisture or contaminants.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint evenly and avoid overworking the brush. Ensure you are using a high-quality brush and that the paint is at the correct consistency. Stir paint thoroughly before and during application.
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly. If needed, add a very small amount of clean water to thin the paint slightly for easier application, but do not over-thin.
Colour appears different after drying
Colour can appear slightly different depending on lighting and the surface it's applied to. Ensure adequate coats are applied for true colour representation. Check for any contaminants on the surface that might affect the final colour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces and prime bare wood or metal with an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer. For a truly flawless finish, a mist coat of thinned paint may be applied to new plaster or bare wood.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. This paint is suitable for interior and exterior wood and metal. For best results, apply two coats of Full Gloss. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 4-6 hours, depending on conditions.
Compatibility: This is a water-based paint designed for wood, metal, walls, and ceilings. It is not intended for use on floors or as a masonry paint.
Care: Clean up brushes, rollers, and spills immediately with water. Once dry, the paint surface can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the high gloss finish.
