Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and rust. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
- Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors or in a space with open windows.
- Masking: Protect surrounding areas with masking tape and paper or drop cloths.
- Shaking: Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
- Application: Hold the can upright, about 10-16 inches (25-40 cm) from the surface. Apply in light, even coats using a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke.
Compatibility:
This paint is designed for use on a wide variety of surfaces including wood, metal, plastic, masonry, and more. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics, to ensure compatibility.
Care:
- Allow 24 hours for the paint to dry to the touch. Full curing may take longer.
- Clean up wet paint immediately with mineral spirits or a paint thinner. Dried paint may require scraping or sanding.
- Store the can upside down and spray briefly to clear the nozzle after each use to prevent clogging.
