Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or peeling

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, and primed if necessary. The surface may have been too damp or not sanded adequately.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats using a quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.

Color appears different than expected

Subtle changes in tone can occur due to lighting. Ensure adequate lighting during application and drying. Check that the correct color product was opened.

Drying time is longer than expected

Drying times can be affected by humidity and temperature. Ensure good ventilation and avoid applying in very damp or cold conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation:

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand to ensure adhesion. For bare wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, working in even strokes. Two coats are recommended for best coverage and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per product instructions.

Compatibility:

Suitable for interior and exterior walls, woodwork, and metalwork (including radiators and pipes). Not recommended for use on surfaces that come into direct contact with extreme heat sources beyond radiators.

Care:

Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away marks and stains. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which may damage the finish.
