Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from contaminants. Re-prepare the surface and apply an appropriate primer if necessary.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply thinner, more even coats. Ensure paint is stirred well. Use a high-quality brush or roller and maintain a consistent application technique. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint peeling or flaking after drying

This often indicates poor surface preparation or application in unsuitable conditions. Remove flaking paint, re-prepare the surface, and reapply following all instructions.

Colour looks different once dry

Colours can appear slightly different when dry compared to when wet. Check the drying time and allow it to fully cure. Test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is Key: Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, flaking paint, or loose material. For best adhesion on bare wood, a primer may be beneficial. Sanding down previously painted surfaces can improve adherence.

Application: Apply evenly using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid applying in excessively damp, humid, or cold conditions. Always stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.

Compatibility: Suitable for exterior wood, metal, and masonry surfaces. Do not use on plastics or excessively flexible surfaces.

Care: Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use. The paint is formulated for durability, but occasional cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain its appearance. Refer to the product packaging for specific drying and recoating times, as these can vary with temperature and humidity.
