Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation (Setup)
Proper preparation is key to achieving a professional-looking finish and ensuring paint longevity.
- Clean: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, and loose or flaking paint.
- Fill: Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler and sand smooth once dry.
- Sand: Lightly sand previously painted gloss surfaces to provide a key for adhesion. Dust off thoroughly.
- Prime: For bare wood or significantly different existing colors, apply a suitable primer or undercoat. This will enhance adhesion and color uniformity.
- Mask: Use painter's tape to protect adjacent surfaces, trim, and light fixtures.
Compatibility
This paint is specifically formulated for interior use on:
- Walls
- Ceilings
- Wooden surfaces (e.g., skirting boards, door frames, furniture)
It is not recommended for exterior use or surfaces that require a highly durable, washable finish (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms, high-traffic hallways) where a more hard-wearing paint type might be preferred.
Care (Post-Application & Storage)
- Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
- Spills: Wipe up spills and splatters immediately with a damp cloth before the paint dries.
- Drying: Allow painted surfaces to fully cure (which can take several days to weeks) before subjecting them to heavy use or cleaning.
- Storage: Store any unused paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is securely closed to prevent skinning.
