Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the paint, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For bare surfaces, applying an appropriate primer is recommended to ensure maximum adhesion. The paint can be applied using a high-quality synthetic brush for trim or a short-pile mohair roller for larger flat surfaces. If using spray equipment, ensure the nozzle is compatible with the viscosity of the paint. After application, allow sufficient drying time between coats according to the product guidelines. To care for the finished surface, use a soft, damp cloth for occasional cleaning, avoiding harsh abrasive scrubbers that could damage the sheen.
