Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks or uneven texture

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and do not overwork the paint; allow the paint to level naturally during the drying process.

This often occurs due to inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the surface was primed and free of oils or dust before the initial coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or dust. For bare wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer to guarantee maximum adhesion and a smooth finish. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Apply using even, long strokes and allow for the manufacturer-recommended drying time between coats to achieve the desired depth of color. For care, keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use and store in a cool, dry environment. Once cured, the finish can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild household detergent.
