Troubleshooting

Paint is streaky or uneven

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and clean. Stir the paint thoroughly before application. Use even strokes with your brush or roller.

Paint is difficult to peel off

Ensure the paint is fully cured before attempting to peel. If it's a permanent application, removal may require a solvent (test in an inconspicuous area first) or gentle scraping.

Poor adhesion or peeling prematurely

The surface may not have been clean or dry enough prior to application. Ensure compatibility with the surface material. Apply in temperatures not too cold or humid.

Bubbles or imperfections after drying

This can occur if applied too thickly or if the surface was not perfectly clean. Apply in thinner, even coats and ensure a clean surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Peelable for easy removal and redecoration.
  • Water-based for simple cleanup.
  • Suitable for a wide range of shiny surfaces.
  • Durable and water-repellent finish.
  • Environmentally conscious with recycled materials and a recycling program.

Cons

  • May not adhere well to porous or unsealed surfaces.
  • Requires a clean, smooth surface for best results.
  • Scratching or heavy abrasion could damage the coating.
  • Drying times can vary based on application thickness and environmental conditions.
  • While peelable, care must be taken during removal to avoid damaging the underlying surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any contaminants. Wiping the surface with a mild detergent and then drying thoroughly is recommended. For best adhesion, avoid applying to very cold or humid surfaces.

Application:

Stir the paint gently before use. Apply in a well-ventilated area. Use a brush, roller, or spray gun for application. A single coat provides a good coverage, but a second coat can be applied after the first has dried (check product for recoat times) to increase opacity. Allow adequate drying time between coats and before peeling or cleaning.

Compatibility:

This paint is designed for smooth, non-porous surfaces including:

  • Glass
  • Mirrors
  • Polycarbonate
  • Acrylic glazing
  • Tiles
  • Sealed metal

It is not recommended for porous surfaces, wallpaper, or unfinished wood.

Care:

Clean applied surfaces gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the paint film. For removal, simply lift an edge and peel the paint off the surface. If any residue remains, it can usually be removed with warm, soapy water.
