Ensure the paint is well-stirred. Apply with consistent pressure and direction using a quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces and wipe clean. For best results on new plaster, use a suitable plaster sealer. If painting over dark or vibrant colors, consider using a primer first.

Care: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water. Spills should be wiped up immediately. The dried paint film is washable, but avoid excessive scrubbing, especially in the initial drying period.
