While designed for furniture, its versatility may allow application on other suitable decorative items. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

How do I clean my painted surface?

Clean the painted surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this can damage the finish.

What is the best way to apply this paint for a metallic effect?

Apply in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Applying in a consistent direction without overworking the paint will help achieve the best metallic finish.

Can I paint over existing varnish or paint with this product?

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free from dust, grease, or wax. For very slick surfaces, a light scuff sand might be necessary, though the product aims to avoid this.

Uneven or streaky finish

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.

Metallic sheen is not uniform

Ensure consistent application direction and pressure. Apply in one direction for best results. Check that the paint has been stirred adequately.

Paint takes too long to dry

Ensure application in a well-ventilated area with appropriate temperature and humidity. Thicker coats may take longer to dry.
