Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

How do I prepare the walls before painting?
Clean the walls to remove dust and dirt. Fill any holes or cracks, and sand the surface for a smooth finish. Ensure the walls are completely dry before painting.
What kind of finish does this paint have?

How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying times can vary depending on conditions, but allow a few hours for each coat to dry completely.
Is a primer needed before applying this paint?
Generally, a primer is not always necessary, especially if you are painting over a similar color. However, if the surface is porous or has stains, using a primer is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish after the first coat.
Ensure the first coat is completely dry before applying the second coat. Use consistent pressure and overlap strokes when applying.
Paint appears streaky.
Use a high-quality brush or roller and avoid overloading the tool with paint. Apply an even coat and avoid overworking the paint.
Paint not covering the surface adequately.
Ensure you are applying the correct number of coats (two coats are recommended). Proper surface preparation is also crucial.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Use a primer if necessary.
