Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well to metal
Ensure the recommended CLDAADM14 metal primer was used prior to painting. If not, the surface may need to be sanded and primed before repainting.
Uneven finish or streaks
Stir paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply thin, even coats, and allow adequate drying time between coats. Consider using a high-quality brush or roller.
Paint is too thick
Stir the paint well. If still too thick for desired application (e.g., spraying), a very small amount of water may be added, but avoid over-thinning as it can compromise durability.
Surface still shows wear after painting
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that sufficient coats were applied. Allow the paint to cure fully (usually 7-14 days) before exposing to heavy wear or harsh weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease, wax, or loose debris. For porous surfaces like concrete or terracotta, no special primer is typically needed. For plastics and glass, ensure they are thoroughly cleaned and possibly scuff-sanded for better adhesion.
Metal Surfaces: For optimal performance and adhesion on metal, it is recommended to use DecoArt's CLDAADM14 metal primer before applying the Outdoor Living paint. This prevents potential corrosion issues and ensures a smooth, even finish.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. Two coats are generally recommended for full coverage and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the product instructions.
Care: Clean up spills and tools immediately with soap and water. The finished surface is water-resistant once fully cured. To clean the painted item, use a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
