Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the paint, prepare your substrate by sanding away any loose material and filling cracks to ensure a flat, even surface. Always apply a high-quality primer to promote adhesion, especially when working on bare metal or previously glossy wood. Apply the paint in thin, even coats to avoid drips and ensure a fast, consistent cure. For care, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. A soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient to wipe down surfaces painted with this finish. Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the paint's shelf life.
