FAQs
Can I use this on walls?
While intended primarily for wood and metal, its durable finish can be used on walls if a low-sheen, washable surface is desired.
How many coats are recommended?
For best results, we recommend two full coats, allowing the manufacturer's specified drying time between each.
Is this paint water-based?
Yes, this is a water-based formulation, which allows for easier cleanup using soap and water.
Does it require a primer?
On bare wood or metal, a suitable primer is always recommended to ensure optimal durability and color consistency.
How long until it is fully cured?
While the paint is touch-dry quickly, full curing typically takes several days; avoid heavy scrubbing during this period.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks or streaks
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to dry.
Paint peeling or lack of adhesion
Confirm that the surface was properly sanded and cleaned of all dust, wax, or grease prior to the initial application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand them to provide a "key" for better adhesion. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a fine-nap mohair roller to achieve the smoothest possible finish. Once cured, maintain the surface by wiping it gently with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive household cleaners, as these can diminish the eggshell luster over time.
