Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dried before application. Check for any grease or dust contamination. If applying to a very smooth or non-porous surface, consider using a suitable primer.
Uneven color finish
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application. Apply in thin, even coats, and avoid over-application or cutting in too thickly. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint taking too long to dry
Check environmental conditions. Avoid painting in temperatures below 10°C (50°F) or when humidity is very high. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Brush marks are visible
Apply the paint using smooth, even strokes. Work with the grain of the wood. Avoid overworking the paint; apply a consistent layer and leave it to level itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:
- Clean Surfaces: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. For best results on wood, lightly sand any rough areas.
- Prime (If Necessary): For bare metal, a rust-inhibiting primer may be beneficial. For porous surfaces like untreated wood or concrete, a suitable primer can improve adhesion and coverage.
Application:
- Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
- Apply using a brush or roller in thin, even coats. Avoid applying in very cold, damp, or humid conditions, or in direct strong sunlight.
- Allow adequate drying time between coats as recommended on the product packaging.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for wood, metal, timber, concrete, stone, and brick.
- Ensure surfaces are sound and not excessively weathered.
Care:
- Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water.
- Wipe down painted surfaces with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid abrasive cleaners which may damage the finish.
