FAQs
Is this paint suitable for outdoor furniture?
Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, providing a durable finish that resists scratches.
Do I need a primer before applying this paint?
While the high pigmentation provides excellent coverage, a primer is recommended on raw wood or highly porous masonry to ensure the best possible adhesion.
Can this be used on plastic?
The paint is primarily formulated for wood, metal, plaster, and masonry; always test on a small area first if you choose to use it on plastic.
How should I store the paint after use?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightly secured to prevent the contents from drying out.
Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes, because it is formulated with a low VOC content, it is safer for indoor use, provided you maintain good ventilation in the workspace.
How long does it take to dry completely?
The fast-drying formula typically allows for quick re-coating, but it is best to allow 24 hours for the paint to reach its full hardness.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or sagging during application
You are applying too much paint at once; use thinner, lighter passes and allow adequate drying time between coats.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dust and oils before painting. Sanding the surface lightly can also help the paint grip better.
Finish feels tacky after the expected drying time
High humidity or low temperatures can slow down drying; move the project to a warmer, better-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve optimal results with your 400ml grey paint, follow these guidelines:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of grease, oil, or loose debris. For smooth surfaces, light sanding will improve adhesion.
- Application: Apply in thin, even layers rather than one thick coat to prevent runs. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface.
- Compatibility: Compatible with wood, metal, plaster, and masonry. Always conduct a small test patch in an inconspicuous area if you are unsure about the substrate's reaction.
- Care: Clean up spills immediately. For long-term maintenance, simply wipe down the finished surface with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the acrylic finish.
