FAQs

Can this paint be used on plastic surfaces?

Yes, this paint is designed to be universal and adheres well to most plastics, provided the surface is clean and dry.

Do I need a primer before applying this paint?

While the paint has excellent adhesion, using a primer is recommended for highly porous surfaces or to achieve the highest durability.

Is this paint safe for indoor furniture?

Yes, but you must ensure the room is well-ventilated during application and that the paint has fully cured before bringing the furniture into daily use.

How long should I wait between coats?

Refer to the specific instructions on the packaging for exact drying times, as ambient temperature and humidity can impact the speed of the cure.

Can I use this on ceramic tiles?

Yes, it is suitable for ceramic surfaces, but ensure the tiles are completely free of soap scum or wax before application.

Troubleshooting

The paint is dripping or sagging.

You are applying too much paint at once. Use thinner coats and keep the nozzle at the recommended distance.

The finish looks dull or rough.

The surface may not have been cleaned properly. Sand the area lightly, clean it to remove dust, and apply a fresh coat.

Paint is peeling off shortly after drying.

The surface likely contained grease or moisture. Ensure the substrate is perfectly clean and dry before applying.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, start by cleaning the target surface thoroughly. It must be completely dry and free of dust, grease, rust, or loose paint flakes; using a degreaser or fine-grit sandpaper may be necessary for non-porous materials like plastic or metal. Shake the container vigorously to ensure the pigment is properly mixed. Apply the paint in several thin, light layers rather than one heavy coat to prevent pooling. Always maintain proper ventilation during the application process and keep the area free of ignition sources. Store the container in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the formula.
