FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

This specific paint is formulated for interior use on walls, wood, and metal.

Do I need a primer?

While it has great adhesion, it is recommended to use a suitable primer on bare wood or bare metal surfaces for best results.

How long does it take to dry?

Touch dry times vary by environment, but it generally touch dries within a few hours, allowing for re-coating quickly.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

Yes, its durable and washable finish makes it a great choice for bathrooms, provided the room has adequate ventilation.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because it is water-based, simply wash your brushes in warm, soapy water.

Is the Moorish Yellow color very bright?

Moorish Yellow is a warm, rich tone that provides a classic, timeless feel rather than a neon-bright finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after application

Ensure the surface was sanded and cleaned thoroughly before painting to remove grease or debris.

Brush marks are visible after drying

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and ensure you are not over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Poor coverage or patchy appearance

Ensure you are using the correct primer for the specific substrate and apply a second coat once the first is completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best finish, all surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. Sand down glossy surfaces to provide a 'key' for the paint to grip. If applying over bare metal, ensure the surface is primed first to prevent rust.

Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures to maintain shelf life. When cleaning brushes, use warm, soapy water immediately after application to prevent the paint from hardening in the bristles.
