FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is designed for use on exterior wood and metal surfaces.

Do I need to prime before painting?

Priming is recommended for optimal adhesion, especially on bare wood or metal. Use a primer suitable for exterior use.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

For best results, apply two coats of paint, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.

How do I clean my painting tools?

Clean tools immediately after use with the appropriate solvent, as indicated on the paint can.

Can I use this paint on interior surfaces?

No, this paint is specifically formulated for exterior use and is not recommended for interior applications.

How do I store leftover paint?

Store leftover paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.

What is the eggshell finish?

The eggshell finish provides a subtle sheen, offering a balance between aesthetics and durability. It is also easier to clean than a flat finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure proper surface preparation. Remove loose paint, sand the surface, and apply a suitable primer. Check for any moisture issues and address them before repainting.

Paint color is not accurate.

Verify that the correct tint was added during the color mixing process. If possible, have the color re-mixed by a professional.

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly primed. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
