Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. For the best color accuracy, a primer suitable for the surface material is recommended. When applying, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure the pigments are properly suspended. Allow sufficient drying time between coats to achieve the desired opacity. For long-term care, clean surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the matte or flat finish.
