Can I use this on exterior walls?

No, this product is designed for interior use only.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Do I need to prime the walls before painting?

It is recommended to prime the walls, especially if they are unpainted, to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Is the glitter additive safe for children's rooms?

You can apply a second coat of the glitter paint, or use buffing pads to enhance the sparkle after the paint has dried.

What type of paint is best to use with the glitter additive?

The glitter additive works well with emulsion, acrylic, and latex paints, regardless of finish (flat, matt, sheen, or silk).

Troubleshooting

Uneven glitter distribution after painting.

Ensure thorough and continuous mixing of the glitter additive with the paint. Apply the paint evenly and avoid overworking the surface.

Glitter not as visible as expected.

Ensure you have used the correct glitter-to-paint ratio. Consider applying a second coat or using buffing pads once dry.

Paint not adhering to the surface.
