Troubleshooting
Paint is bubbling or peeling
This usually indicates the surface was not fully clean or was contaminated with oil before application. Strip the area, degrease thoroughly, and reapply.
Poor adhesion to the metal
Ensure the surface is bare ferrous metal. If the metal is non-ferrous or previously painted with non-compatible coatings, the paint will not adhere correctly.
Uneven finish or sags
You may have applied the paint too heavily in one pass. Apply multiple thin, light coats rather than one thick layer to ensure a smooth, uniform finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure the surface to be painted is completely dry and free from dust or oils before application. For optimal adhesion, abrade the surface lightly with sandpaper if it is particularly smooth. Shake the container thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are properly mixed.
Compatibility is limited to ferrous metals (iron and steel); it is not intended for plastic, wood, or non-ferrous metals. To maintain the finish, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads after the paint has cured, as this may scratch the matt surface. Always store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources when not in use.
