Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over a dark color, a primer or undercoat may be required to reach the desired opacity. For cleanup, brushes and rollers should be cleaned with warm, soapy water immediately after use while the paint is still wet. Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures to maintain the product's integrity for future touch-ups.
