Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, grease, and mildew. Remove any existing flaking paint.

Application: Apply the paint using a brush, roller, or spray gun. Apply even coats and avoid over-brushing.
Compatibility

Always test the paint on a small, inconspicuous area to check for compatibility and adhesion before applying to the entire surface.
Care
Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water.
Allow the paint to fully cure before washing the surface.
Clean the painted surface with a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
