How do I clean the painted surfaces?

Use a damp cloth to clean painted surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to maintain the gloss finish.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint dries quickly; check the product label for specific drying times. Typically, it will be dry to the touch within a few hours.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from wax or oil. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Uneven finish or brush marks.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid overbrushing. For a smoother finish, consider using a sprayer or lightly sanding between coats.

Color not matching the sample.

Ensure you are using the correct color and batch number. Color accuracy can be affected by the application method and the number of coats. Use a tester sachet for a true color representation before painting.

Paint is too thick for spraying.

Dilute the paint with water by 10-20% as required. Always refer to the product's instructions for the best results.

Paint is bubbling or peeling.

Ensure the surface is adequately prepared. Avoid painting in high humidity or extreme temperatures. Ensure you have allowed sufficient drying time before applying additional coats.
