Setup:
Preparation is Key: For best adhesion and a smooth finish, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and sound. Remove any loose or flaking paint.
Sanding: Lightly sand previously painted or glossy surfaces to create a 'key' for the new paint. Wipe away dust.
Masking: Use painter's tape to protect adjacent surfaces that you don't want to paint.
Stirring: Stir the paint well before use and periodically during painting to ensure the color and consistency are uniform.
Compatibility:

Other Paints: As it is self-undercoating, no separate primer is typically required. Avoid mixing with other types of paint.
Care:
Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water.
Surface Maintenance: The painted surface is durable and wipeable. For general cleaning, simply wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying out.
