Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. For particularly slick surfaces like plastic or polished metal, a light sanding can improve initial mechanical bonding, although the paint is designed to adhere on its own. Apply using a soft brush or synthetic sponge for best results. If you are painting on glass, consider using multiple thin coats rather than one thick application to prevent streaking. For cleanup, wash your brushes immediately after use with warm soapy water before the paint dries. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightly sealed to maintain proper viscosity.
