Full details

FAQs
Can I use this paint on exterior masonry?
Yes, this paint is specifically formulated to be suitable for masonry, offering weather resistance for exterior applications.
Do I really not need a separate primer?
The formula is self-priming, meaning it is designed to adhere directly to prepared surfaces without the need for a separate coat of primer.
Is this paint safe for children's toys or furniture?
While the paint is low-VOC and water-based, always allow for a full curing period before placing the item in use.
Can I apply this over existing oil-based paint?
Yes, but you must ensure the existing paint is cleaned, degreased, and lightly sanded to provide a proper key for the new paint.
How many coats are typically needed?
While one coat may cover well in some instances, two thin coats are generally recommended for the most durable and even finish.
Does the white or clear version yellow over time?
The formula is specifically designed to be non-yellowing, making it superior to traditional oil-based glosses.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering to smooth plastic or melamine
Lightly abrade the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to create a key, then clean thoroughly before re-applying.
Visible brush marks or streaks
Use a high-quality synthetic brush, ensure you are not overworking the paint, and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.
Paint takes too long to dry
Ensure the room or area is well-ventilated; high humidity and low temperatures can significantly extend drying times.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any contaminants that might hinder adhesion. Apply the paint using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller to achieve a smooth finish. For maintenance, simply wipe down the painted area with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Because the paint is water-based, keep your tools submerged in water immediately after use to prevent the paint from hardening on the bristles. Store the tin in a cool, frost-free location to preserve the remaining paint for future touch-ups.
