Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and free of any loose particles or existing coatings. Consider using a primer.
Paint is cracking or peeling.
This could be due to applying the paint too thickly, or to poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply thin, even coats, and allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Colour is uneven or patchy.
Ensure thorough stirring of the paint before application. Apply two even coats, and maintain a wet edge while painting to prevent lap marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, and grease. Use a suitable cleaner to remove any existing contaminants. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and allow to dry.
- Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply the paint using a brush, roller, or spray. Apply evenly, avoiding excessive build-up. Two coats are generally recommended for best results, allowing the first coat to dry before applying the second.
- Drying Time: The paint is quick-drying, typically drying to the touch within a few hours. However, allow sufficient time for full curing before exposure to heavy use or cleaning.
- Compatibility: Suitable for use on most masonry surfaces including brick, stone, cement render, and concrete. Check for compatibility with any existing coatings before application.
- Care: Clean tools immediately after use with water. Wash down surfaces with a mild detergent and water as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the paint finish.
