Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well or peeling

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. Remove any grease, dust, or old flaking paint. Use an appropriate primer if applying to bare or challenging surfaces.

Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks

Apply in thinner, even coats, maintaining a wet edge. Ensure adequate paint is on the applicator and use smooth, consistent strokes. Stir the paint frequently during application.

Poor coverage and showing through the previous color

Ensure the surface is adequately primed or that the paint is applied at the correct film thickness. Apply a second coat if necessary, respecting the recoating times.

Paint is too thick to apply smoothly

Check for drying in the container; stir thoroughly. If in very cold conditions, allow the paint to come to room temperature. Do not add thinning agents unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer for spray application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand smooth surfaces and prime if necessary, especially on bare wood or metal. For best adhesion, follow the recommended primer guidelines for the specific substrate.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and durability. Allow touch dry in 1-2 hours and recoat after 4 hours. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

Compatibility:

Suitable for use on iron, steel, planed timber, softwood, timber, and window frames. It is intended for interior applications only. It can be applied over existing, sound paint finishes after appropriate preparation.

Care:

Clean application tools (brushes, rollers) immediately after use with water. For painted surfaces, gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended for maintenance. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the matt finish.
