Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of all dust, grease, or previous loose paint before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your project surface is clean, dry, and free of loose debris, rust, or grease. If painting over wood, a light sanding may be required to improve mechanical bond. Use the provided 1-inch brush to apply the paint in consistent, overlapping strokes. While the paint is weather-resistant, avoid painting during extreme dampness or freezing temperatures, as this can affect the curing process of the gloss finish. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after each use to prevent thickening.
