Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure the surface is properly prepared by sanding down any glossy areas to provide a key for adhesion. For the best long-term results, it is highly recommended to use the official Mylands Red Primer and Undercoat, as this helps neutralize the background color and ensures the red pigments remain true. Clean brushes and tools with water if the paint is water-based, and ensure the area is well-ventilated during application. For maintenance, a soft, damp cloth is sufficient to wipe down the painted surface without damaging the finish.
