FAQs
Do I need to sand the surface before painting?
No, sanding is generally not required, but light sanding may be beneficial on glossy surfaces.
How many coats of paint are needed?
One coat is usually sufficient, but a second coat may be needed for better coverage or on darker surfaces.
Can I use this paint on outdoor furniture?
This paint is designed for interior use. Using it outdoors is not recommended.
What is the drying time?
Typically, the paint dries within 1-2 hours. Recoating can be done after this time.
How do I achieve a distressed look?
Apply two coats of paint in similar colors, let dry, and then sand the edges and corners to reveal the base color.
Do I need to seal the paint?
It is recommended to use Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax or Lacquer to seal the paint and protect the finish.
How do I clean the paint brushes and rollers?
Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use.
Can I use the tester sachets to paint a whole piece of furniture?
The tester sachets are only intended to test the color and are not enough to cover large surfaces.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the surface is clean and free of grease or wax. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting.
