Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure your surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or debris. For optimal results, use a high-quality primer compatible with the specific substrate you are painting. When applying, ensure good ventilation in the room. To maintain the finish, wipe surfaces down gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the paint film. Store tins in a cool, dry place with the lid securely fastened to prevent skinning.
