Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it is formulated to withstand weather exposure, making it durable for exterior fixtures.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Can I apply this with a spray gun?

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or sagging

You may have applied the coat too thickly. Use thinner coats and spread the paint evenly to allow the non-drip formula to set correctly.

Paint is peeling or flaking

This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the surface is free from oil, dirt, and loose material before repainting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or loose paint. If painting metal, ensure rust is removed and a primer is used if necessary. For wood, lightly sand the area to improve adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply in thin, even strokes. To maintain the finish, simply wipe down with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that may dull the high-gloss shine. Always ensure adequate ventilation while painting to aid the drying process.
