Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and applying thin, even coats rather than overworking the paint.

Paint peeling or poor adhesion

The surface was likely not primed or was contaminated with dust or grease; clean the surface thoroughly and apply a dedicated primer.

Surface feels tacky after several hours

Check humidity levels in the room; high humidity slows drying time. Increase ventilation to assist the curing process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent scuff resistance for long-term durability
  • Sophisticated eggshell finish suitable for traditional and modern interiors
  • Compatible with brushes, rollers, and spray equipment
  • Rich, multi-dimensional color depth

Cons

  • Requires a separate primer for best results
  • Not suitable for external masonry or exterior walls
  • May require multiple coats depending on the base surface color

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure the surface is sanded lightly and free of dust, grease, or previous loose paint. For new or bare surfaces, always apply a suitable primer to create an even substrate. The paint is highly versatile regarding application tools: you can use standard brushes, rollers, or spray equipment depending on the scale of your project. If using a sprayer, thin the paint only as recommended by your equipment manufacturer. Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its shelf life, and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent skinning. Clean brushes and rollers with soap and water immediately after application.
