FAQs
Can I use this paint for exterior furniture?

Does this red paint require a special primer?
While it has excellent coverage, using a tinted primer is recommended if you are painting over a very dark or highly contrasting color.
How long does it take to dry?

Is this paint finish matte or gloss?
Craig & Rose formulas are designed for a professional, durable finish; check your specific tin for the exact sheen level.
How do I store leftover paint?
Seal the lid tightly and store the tin in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure the surface is properly prepared; sand glossy surfaces and clean away any dust or grease. The paint is compatible with most standard wall materials including plaster, wood, and masonry. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap roller for best results. For maintenance, clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with appropriate cleaning agents recommended for water-based or oil-based paints as specified on the container. Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
