While traditional flat paints can be difficult to clean, this formula is engineered to be more resilient and easier to maintain than standard flat emulsions.
Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to set.
Verify that the surface was properly cleaned and lightly sanded to provide a mechanical key for the paint.
Ensure the surface is properly primed according to the substrate type, especially when moving from a light color to this deep shade.
To ensure the best performance from this alkyd-based paint, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over previously glossy surfaces, light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. Use high-quality synthetic brushes for woodwork and a medium-pile roller for larger wall areas to achieve the signature flat finish. For ongoing maintenance, wipe scuffs away with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can alter the matte finish over time.
