FAQs
Can I use this paint on metal surfaces?
Yes, this paint is suitable for interior metal surfaces as well as woodwork and trim.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Since this is a water-based formula, brushes can be cleaned thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
Is this paint suitable for exterior doors?
No, this product is specifically formulated for interior use and is not designed to withstand exterior weather conditions.
Does it require a primer?
For most surfaces, a light sand and clean are sufficient; however, on raw or highly porous surfaces, a suitable primer is always recommended for the best finish.
What does the 40% sheen mean?
It refers to the level of reflection; 40% is classified as a satin finish, which is more lustrous than matt but less reflective than full gloss.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is quick-drying, but specific recoat times can be found on the product tin; always follow these to ensure proper bonding.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well to the surface
Ensure the surface was sanded properly to provide a key and cleaned of all dust or grease before application.
Visible brush marks or streaks
Use a high-quality synthetic brush, ensure the paint is not being overworked, and apply thin, even coats.
Finish appears uneven or patchy
Apply a secondary coat once the first is fully dry; ensure the surface has been primed correctly if it was highly porous.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or peeling old paint. Lightly sand surfaces to provide a key for better adhesion. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or roller designed for water-based paints to achieve the smoothest application. While the paint is quick-drying, allow sufficient time between coats as specified on the product packaging to ensure the full structural integrity of the film is reached. For long-term care, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemical solvents; a simple microfiber cloth with mild soapy water is usually sufficient to maintain the sheen and longevity of the finish.
