Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.
Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply thin, even coats and avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent application technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Lightly sand surfaces to improve adhesion. For previously painted surfaces, a mist coat might be beneficial if the substrate is porous.
Application: Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. For best results, use a good quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Apply a thin, even coat. Allow to dry for 1-2 hours before applying a second coat, waiting 4 hours between coats if necessary.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on interior wood and metal surfaces including iron, steel, planed softwood, timber, and window frames. Not recommended for use on walls or ceilings intended for general emulsion paint.
Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For cleaning the painted surface, use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the durable finish.
