Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional finish, prepare all surfaces by cleaning them thoroughly and removing dust, grease, or peeling previous coatings. If applying to metal or previously glossed wood, a light sanding may be required to improve mechanical adhesion. Stir the paint well before application to ensure uniform pigment distribution.
