How many coats are typically required?

While it depends on the substrate and original colour, two coats are generally sufficient for a professional-grade finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased; consider light sanding if the substrate is too smooth.

Visible brush marks

Use a high-quality synthetic brush, maintain a 'wet edge' during application, and avoid over-working the paint.

Drying is slower than expected

Check humidity and temperature; painting in a well-ventilated room with temperatures between 15-25 degrees Celsius is optimal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve a flawless finish, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before painting. If painting metal, ensure the surface is properly primed according to standard metal-painting practices. When applying with a brush or roller, use high-quality tools to minimize texture. For spray equipment, ensure the viscosity is adjusted to the manufacturer's recommendations. For care, once cured, the paint is washable; simply use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to clean scuffs or marks. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the sheen.
