What kind of primer should I use?

How do I clean the paint brushes?
Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint is removed.

Is this paint washable?

Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a key. Allow adequate drying time.
Paint finish is uneven or streaky.
Use high-quality brushes or rollers. Apply the paint evenly, avoiding excessive build-up. Ensure proper ventilation during application and drying.
Colour appears different after drying.
Ensure paint is thoroughly mixed before application. Apply two coats for the true colour to appear. Consider lighting conditions and colour samples when choosing your shade.
