You can use a brush, roller, or spray to apply the paint.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Clean your tools with water immediately after use.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

How many coats of paint are needed?

Usually, two coats are recommended for the best finish, but one coat may be sufficient on previously painted surfaces in good condition and similar color.

How should I store leftover paint?

Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and frost, and ensure the lid is sealed tightly.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven after application.

Ensure thorough stirring before application. Apply an even coat and avoid overspreading the paint. Consider applying a second coat.

Paint does not adhere to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and free of grease or loose particles. Prime the surface if necessary.

Paint takes too long to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Check the temperature and humidity levels in the room, as this can affect drying time. Avoid applying too thick a coat.

Color is not as expected.

Ensure you are viewing the color in natural light. Consider ordering a tester pot to confirm the color before painting the entire area. Check for any color variations between batches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are sound, clean, and dry. Remove any loose paint, dirt, or grease. Fill any holes or cracks with a suitable filler and sand smooth. New surfaces should be fully dry before painting.
  2. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. For new or bare surfaces, apply a thinned first coat (up to 1 part water to 5 parts paint). Normal finishing requires 2 full coats. Allow 2-4 hours of drying time between coats.
  3. Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most common interior surfaces like drywall, plaster, and previously painted walls. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to check for compatibility and adhesion.
  4. Care: Clean tools with water immediately after use. If the paint gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. Store the paint in a cool, dry place, protected from frost and extreme temperatures. For cleaning painted surfaces, use a damp cloth and mild detergent.
