How long does it take to dry?
The formula is quick-drying, but allow at least 4-6 hours between coats for optimal results.

Yes, it is a water-based formula, which allows for easy cleanup with water.
Can I use this on exterior doors?

Is the finish washable?

Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks after drying
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.
Paint peeling or poor adhesion
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Sand the surface to provide 'tooth', clean thoroughly, and ensure a compatible primer is applied.
Drips or runs during application
Apply thinner, more even coats rather than one heavy, thick layer to maintain control over the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If you are painting over raw wood, apply a suitable primer first to seal the surface. For metal, ensure any rust is sanded away and a metal-specific primer is used if necessary. Stir the paint thoroughly before use and apply using a high-quality brush or a short-pile mohair roller for large, flat areas.
Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use while the paint is still wet. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the paint from skinning or drying out. For cleaning finished surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the sheen.
