Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky after the first coat

Ensure the surface was cleaned of all dust and oil; apply a second coat once the first is fully dry.

Check that the surface is completely dry and free from wax residues or moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of wax or oil. While the paint is designed to adhere to existing paint and varnish, cleaning the substrate with a mild degreaser is recommended for best results.

  1. Stirring: Use a spatula to stir the paint thoroughly for at least 2 minutes to ensure pigment consistency.
  2. Application: Use a high-quality brush or roller.
  3. Drying: Wait 2 hours between coats for the best results.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after use to prevent the paint from drying out.

Note: This product is water-based, so brushes and rollers can be cleaned with warm, soapy water.
