Stir the product thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly in the recommended number of coats. Note that the final colour can vary depending on the surface type and the number of coats applied. Consider a test patch first.

Cover nearby surfaces before spraying. Clean up any overspray immediately while it is still wet using water and household detergent.

If necessary and following product guidelines (though not explicitly stated for thinning in provided data, water-based paints often allow minimal water for brush application if needed, but always check specific product recommendations).
