FAQs
Is this paint suitable for exterior doors?
No, this specific formulation is designed for interior use only.
Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
Depending on the surface porosity, a suitable primer is always recommended for the best professional results.
Can I use this on radiator surfaces?
While it works on many metal surfaces, ensure the radiator is completely cool before painting and check if the heat output exceeds the paint's temperature tolerance.
How long does it take to touch dry?
The quick-drying formula typically feels dry to the touch within a few hours, but consult the tin for specific environmental conditions.
Is the finish high-gloss?
No, this is an eggshell finish, which provides a soft, low-sheen look rather than a reflective gloss.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky upon application
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to dry.
Finish is not adhering well to the surface
Verify that the surface was thoroughly cleaned and lightly sanded to provide a mechanical key for the paint.
Paint is drying too fast to achieve a smooth finish
Work in smaller sections and ensure the room is not in direct sunlight or subject to extreme drafts during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. For wood surfaces, a light sanding may be required to improve adhesion, while metal surfaces should be checked for signs of oxidation or rust. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing for the recommended drying time between layers to ensure the full durability of the eggshell finish. To maintain the paint's lifespan, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads; a soft, damp cloth is sufficient for wiping away dust or light marks. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent skinning.
