FAQs
Do I need a primer before using Maxx Gloss?
No, this product features advanced adhesion technology specifically designed to stick to most smooth surfaces without a primer.
Is this paint safe for children's furniture?
Yes, it is a water-based, non-toxic formula.
How many coats should I apply?
The paint is formulated to provide excellent coverage in just two coats.
Can I use this outdoors?
Maxx Gloss is intended for home decor and furniture; it is fade-resistant but primarily designed for indoor use.
How do I clean my brushes?
Simply wash the brushes with warm soap and water immediately after use while the paint is still wet.
Troubleshooting
Brush marks visible after drying
Ensure you are using a high-quality soft synthetic brush and avoid over-brushing; allow the paint's leveling technology to do the work.
Bubbles appearing in the finish
Do not shake the paint bottle; stir gently to incorporate pigments. Apply with slower, deliberate strokes.
Poor adhesion on very glossy surfaces
While it adheres to most surfaces, extremely slick or oily surfaces may still benefit from a very light scuff-sand to improve mechanical grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils before application. While the paint is designed to stick without sanding, a quick wipe-down with a degreaser is always recommended.
- Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly.
- Application: Stir the paint gently to avoid creating air bubbles. Apply with a soft synthetic brush.
- Layering: Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.
- Curing: While the paint may feel dry to the touch quickly, allow it to fully cure (usually 24-48 hours depending on environment) before subjecting it to heavy use or cleaning.
For cleaning, use soap and water while the paint is wet. Once fully cured, treat the painted surface with standard household cleaners, avoiding harsh abrasives.
