FAQs
Can I use this paint indoors?
Yes, although it is specifically engineered for outdoor durability, its non-toxic, water-based nature makes it perfectly safe and effective for indoor projects as well.
Does this paint require a sealer?
No, the formula is designed to be permanent and weather-resistant on its own without the need for an additional topcoat.
How long does it take to cure?
While the paint will feel dry to the touch within an hour, we recommend letting the piece cure for 24 to 48 hours before placing it in heavy-use outdoor conditions.
Can I use this on metal?
While it is optimized for masonry, terra cotta, and wood, it can adhere to primed metal surfaces; however, testing on a small, inconspicuous area is always recommended.
Is the paint waterproof?
It is weather-resistant, meaning it stands up well to rain and humidity, but it should not be submerged in water for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and free of oils or wax. If the surface is non-porous, consider a light sanding to create 'tooth' for the paint.
Streaky finish
Use a high-quality synthetic bristle brush and apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick layer. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint bubbling or peeling
This often indicates moisture trapped under the surface. Ensure the object is completely dry before application and avoid painting in direct, extreme heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your surface, ensure it is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose debris. For best results on bare concrete or terra cotta, ensure the surface is fully cured before painting. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand the area to improve mechanical bonding. While the paint is water-based, it becomes permanent once cured; therefore, wash brushes and tools immediately with soap and warm water. For long-term maintenance, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent premature drying.
