Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or loose paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility: This paint is recommended for interior furniture, doors, and trims. It adheres well to wood, metal, and previously painted surfaces. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Care: Clean tools with soap and water immediately after use. For painted surfaces, clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the matt finish. Allow the paint to cure fully for 7-14 days before heavy cleaning or use.
