Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Stir gently with a clean tool. If still too thick, add a very small amount of water (a drop at a time) and mix thoroughly. Avoid over-thinning.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure the surface is properly prepped and smooth. Apply paint in thin, even coats, using consistent brush strokes. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. A foam brush can sometimes provide a smoother finish.
Paint not adhering well
Verify the surface is clean, dry, and free of oils or residues. For slick surfaces like glass or plastic, consider using a primer designed for those materials before applying the metallic paint.
Metallic effect looks dull
Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed to distribute the metallic flakes evenly. Apply in thin coats rather than one thick coat for a brighter shimmer. A top coat of gloss varnish can also enhance the metallic sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No special setup is required. Ensure your project surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease for optimal adhesion.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for use on wood, canvas, paper, metal, fabric, plaster, and other porous craft surfaces. It can be layered over dried acrylic paints or primers. For surfaces that will be frequently handled or exposed to moisture, applying a compatible clear acrylic sealer or varnish is recommended once the paint is fully dry.
Care: Clean brushes, tools, and any spills with soap and water immediately after use while the paint is still wet. Once dry, the paint is permanent and water-resistant. If the paint container has been sealed properly, it can be stored at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures.
