Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Proper preparation is crucial for a flawless finish:
- Clean Surfaces: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, or loose material. Use a mild detergent if necessary, then rinse and allow to dry completely.
- Fill & Sand: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. Remove all sanding dust.
- Prime (Optional but Recommended): For new, bare, or porous surfaces, or if painting over a strong contrast, apply a suitable primer or an initial thinned coat of this paint (up to 10% water) to improve adhesion and finish consistency.
- Masking: Use painter's tape to protect adjacent surfaces, trim, and fixtures.
Compatibility
This paint is designed for interior walls and interior wood. It is not suitable for floors, exterior surfaces, or areas subject to high condensation or direct water contact.
Care
- Cleaning Painted Surfaces: Once fully cured (typically 7-14 days), painted surfaces can be gently wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent if needed. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the matt finish.
- Storing Leftover Paint: Seal the lid tightly and store the paint in a cool, dry place, protected from frost and extreme temperatures. Ensure the can is upright to prevent leakage. Do not store partially used paint for extended periods.
