Troubleshooting

Paint is streaking during application

Ensure the brush is not overloaded and apply in long, smooth strokes. Avoid over-brushing once the paint starts to set.

Paint finish appears uneven

Apply a second thin coat after the first has completely dried to build opacity and achieve a uniform gloss level.

Difficulty cleaning brushes

Since this is a water-based paint, clean immediately with warm water and a mild detergent. Do not let the paint dry on the bristles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare for painting, stir the paint thoroughly before use. If applying to bare wood or metal, use an appropriate primer to ensure better adhesion and long-term durability. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding will improve the bond of the new coat.

  • Application: Use a synthetic bristle brush for the smoothest finish.
  • Cleaning: Wash brushes and equipment with warm soapy water immediately after use.
  • Storage: Keep the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place to prevent the paint from drying out in the container.
  • Compatibility: Suitable for most household materials, but always test on an inconspicuous area first if working with plastics or unusual substrates.
