Yes, its durable and washable finish makes it an excellent choice for kitchen woodwork, provided the cabinets are properly cleaned and primed first.
While the finish is washable, it is primarily designed for woodwork and furniture. For bathrooms, ensure it is applied to areas not subject to direct, constant water spray.
Yes, for raw wood or metal surfaces, a primer is highly recommended to ensure proper adhesion and color longevity.
Since this is a water-based formula, you can clean brushes with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
We recommend at least two coats to achieve the full depth of the Medici Crimson color and the best durability.
Ensure the surface was cleaned of all grease and loose dust. If the surface is non-porous or metal, ensure a compatible primer was applied.
Use a high-quality synthetic brush designed for water-based paints and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.
Deep colors like Medici Crimson often require at least two full coats; ensure consistent application and wait for the first coat to dry completely.
To achieve the best results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust before application. If painting over raw wood, use a compatible primer to seal the surface. For metal, ensure any rust is treated and a suitable metal primer is applied first. Apply the paint using a high-quality synthetic brush or a fine-nap roller for an even coat. Allow adequate drying time between coats as specified on the can. For maintenance, clean painted surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive scouring pads that might damage the eggshell finish.
