Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or debris. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand the area to provide a key for the new coat. Apply the paint using a high-quality brush or roller designed for oil-based or alkyd finishes to ensure even distribution. For optimal results, stir the paint thoroughly before use, as the flat pigments can settle. To care for your painted surfaces, wait for the paint to fully cure before wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can alter the matte finish. For larger projects, ensure consistent application technique to avoid flashing or uneven sheen levels in low-light conditions.
