FAQs
Can this paint be used on walls?
While intended for wood and metal trim, it can technically be applied to walls, but its finish is designed for durability on hard surfaces and may behave differently than traditional wall emulsions.
How long does it take to dry?
The formula is quick-drying; however, exact times vary based on room temperature and humidity. Always touch-test before applying a second coat.
Is primer required?
For bare wood or metal, a suitable primer is recommended to ensure the best adhesion and longevity of the paint.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Because this is a modern, high-quality formula, brushes can typically be cleaned effectively with warm, soapy water.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor furniture?
No, this specific product is formulated for interior use and will not withstand exterior weather conditions.
What is the finish sheen level?
This paint features an 'eggshell' finish, which provides a low, soft sheen that sits between matte and satin.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaking or showing brush marks.
Ensure you are not over-working the paint. Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply thin, even coats in one direction.
Paint is peeling or not adhering to the surface.
The surface may not have been clean or properly sanded. Remove loose paint, clean the surface, and ensure it is dry before repainting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, start by cleaning your surface thoroughly to remove dust, grease, and debris. For wood, light sanding is recommended to improve grip. For metal surfaces, ensure they are free of rust and primed appropriately if necessary. Use a high-quality synthetic brush for the best finish. During application, keep the room well-ventilated to assist with drying. Once the painting is complete, clean brushes with warm, soapy water immediately. For long-term care, clean surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the integrity of the eggshell finish.
