Can I use this for outdoor furniture?

Troubleshooting
Paint is showing visible brush marks
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.
Paint is peeling shortly after application
This is usually caused by inadequate surface preparation; ensure the surface was sanded, cleaned, and free of dust before starting.
The finish looks uneven or patchy
This often indicates insufficient stirring. Ensure the pigments are thoroughly mixed from the bottom of the can before application.
