Ensure the surface was sanded to provide a key and cleaned of all dust, grease, or wax before painting.
Avoid over-working the paint. Apply in long, smooth strokes and use a high-quality synthetic brush or a finer-nap roller.
Work in smaller sections and avoid painting in direct sunlight or areas with high heat and strong drafts.
Proper preparation is the foundation of a successful paint job. For new or bare surfaces, ensure they are sanded smooth and dusted before application. If you are painting over existing glossy paint, lightly sand the surface to provide a 'key' for the eggshell finish to grip. Use a quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller for even application. For ongoing care, the surface can be wiped clean with a damp, soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull the eggshell sheen over time. Always store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the water-based formula from thickening or drying out.
