How long should I wait between coats?

Allow approximately 2-4 hours of drying time between coats, but always refer to the paint manufacturer's instructions for the most accurate information.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Gently wipe spills and marks with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the matte finish.

Can this paint be used in bathrooms or kitchens?

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply a second coat, allowing sufficient drying time between coats. Use a high-quality brush or roller and apply paint evenly.

Paint is not adhering properly to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed. Remove any loose paint or debris. Allow the primer to dry completely before applying the paint. Consider light sanding before painting.

Color appears different than expected.
