Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, and dirt. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
Priming: If painting over a previously painted surface, a primer may not be necessary. However, for porous surfaces or to ensure the best adhesion, priming is recommended.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats for best results, allowing sufficient drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours). Use a brush or roller suitable for emulsion paints.
Compatibility: Compatible with most common interior surfaces including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
Care: Clean spills and marks immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. For more stubborn marks, use a mild detergent solution.
