Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose material. For best adhesion, lightly sand surfaces like metal or previously painted wood, then wipe clean. For smooth surfaces like glass or plastic, a primer may be beneficial (check product recommendations).
- Environment: Use in a well-ventilated area, ideally outdoors or in a room with open windows. Protect surrounding areas from overspray with masking tape and drop cloths.
- Application: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Hold the can upright, about 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) away from the surface. Apply in light, even coats, moving the can in a steady back-and-forth motion. Avoid applying too heavily in one go.
Compatibility:
This paint is compatible with a wide range of surfaces, including:
- Wood
- Metal
- Plastic
- Ceramic
- Glass
Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics or sensitive surfaces.
Care:
- Allow a minimum of 16 hours for the paint to dry completely before handling or exposing to wear. For full curing, allow several days.
- Clean up any spills or overspray immediately with appropriate solvents (refer to can instructions). Once dry, the finish can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
