FAQs
Can I use this paint on wood surfaces?
Yes, provided the wood is properly sanded and primed with a suitable wood primer first.
How many coats should I apply?
For the best depth of color and professional finish, we recommend two full coats.
Does this paint have a strong odor?
It has a standard professional paint scent; ensure the room is well-ventilated during application and drying.
How do I store leftover paint?
Seal the tin tightly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
Can I use a sprayer to apply this paint?
Yes, but ensure you follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions regarding thinning requirements.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or streaking
Ensure you are 'laying off' the paint correctly by using long, consistent strokes without pressing too hard on the roller.
Poor adhesion to surface
The wall was likely not properly cleaned or primed; sand the area lightly and re-apply a high-quality base coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, ensure that your walls are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If the surface has been previously painted with a high-gloss finish, perform a light sanding to promote better adhesion. Use a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in corners and a medium-nap roller for wall surfaces to ensure an even finish. After painting, allow the surface to cure fully for several days before mounting artwork or furniture against the wall. For cleaning, use only a soft, damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could dull the finish or lift the pigment.
