Is this paint suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Yes, it is recommended for kitchen cupboards and provides a durable, wipeable finish.

How do I clean my brushes after painting?

Clean your brushes and tools with water immediately after finishing your painting session.

Is this paint safe for children's furniture?

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Check that no unsuitable cleaning agents were used on the surface prior to painting.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush and apply in a consistent direction. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Color appears different than expected

Ensure adequate lighting during application. Colors can appear differently under various light conditions. Verify that two coats have been applied, as a single coat may not show the full depth of the color.

Paint is too thick to apply

Stir the paint well. If still very thick, a tiny amount of water can be added (no more than 5% by volume) to aid application, though this may slightly affect coverage or durability. Ensure paint is stored at room temperature.
