Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. For bare surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion. Use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for water-based paints for a streak-free application. Allow adequate drying time between coats as specified by the product instructions. For care and maintenance, the washable nature of this paint means you can gently clean marks with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing sponges, as these may damage the sheen of the eggshell finish.
