FAQs
What is the recommended drying time between coats?
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions on the paint tin, as drying times may vary.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While it can be used in bathrooms, ensure adequate ventilation and consider a moisture-resistant primer for improved durability.
How should I store leftover paint?
Store the paint in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
What kind of primer should I use?
Use a primer specifically designed for the surface you're painting (e.g., wood primer for wooden surfaces).
How do I clean my brushes and rollers?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water or the appropriate solvent, depending on the paint type.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks
Ensure even paint application. Use a good quality brush or roller and avoid applying too much paint at once. Apply in the same direction.
Poor coverage
Ensure proper surface preparation. Apply a primer if necessary. Apply two coats of paint allowing sufficient drying time between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, and dirt. Fill any imperfections with appropriate filler and sand smooth.

- Compatibility: This paint is generally compatible with most common interior surfaces like plaster, drywall, and wood. Always test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Care: Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
