Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to provide a key for adhesion. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth.
- Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure consistent color and finish.
- Application: Apply evenly with a good quality synthetic brush or roller. The self-undercoating formula means a separate undercoat is generally not needed on most sound, prepared surfaces.
- Coats: Typically, two coats are recommended for best coverage and durability. Allow appropriate drying time between coats. Info needed: [drying time for recoat]

Care
- Cleaning Painted Surfaces: The wipeable finish allows for easy cleaning. Simply wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent (if necessary) to remove marks or dirt.

- Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
