FAQs

Can I use this paint on exterior surfaces?

No, this specific formulation is intended for interior use only.

Is this paint safe for metal surfaces?

Yes, it is designed for use on both interior woodwork and metal surfaces.

How long does it take to dry?

It is a quick-drying formula, though exact times depend on ambient temperature and humidity.

Is the finish matte or glossy?

It features an eggshell finish, which offers a subtle, low-sheen look that is more durable than matte.

Do I need a primer?

While it adheres well to many surfaces, we recommend using a suitable primer if painting onto bare or highly porous surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and lightly sanded before application to remove oils and provide texture.

Visible brush strokes appearing

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply in long, even strokes; avoid over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Finish appears inconsistent

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before use and avoid painting in direct, hot sunlight which can cause uneven drying.

  • Excellent durability and scuff resistance
  • Versatile for use on wood and metal surfaces

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over existing gloss finishes, lightly sand the area to provide a mechanical key for the paint. For best results, use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller. Once applied, the paint is quick-drying, but allow adequate ventilation during the curing process. For routine care, simply wipe down the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent, as the paint is formulated to be fully washable once completely cured.
