FAQs
Can I use this paint for exterior door frames?
No, this specific formulation is designed for interior use only.
Is this paint washable?
Yes, the cured finish is washable, making it suitable for areas that require regular light cleaning.
What type of finish does this paint provide?
It provides a durable eggshell finish, which is a low-sheen, smooth finish that hides surface imperfections better than high-gloss paints.
Do I need a primer?

How long does it take to dry?
The paint is quick-drying, but specific recoat times can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity; check the product tin for exact timings.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well to metal surfaces
Ensure the metal was properly sanded and primed with a metal-specific primer before applying the paint.
Brush marks are visible after drying
Use a high-quality synthetic brush, maintain a 'wet edge' while painting, and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.
Surface feels tacky long after application
Ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that the humidity levels are within the recommended range for indoor painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. If applying to bare wood, use an appropriate primer to ensure an even finish. For metal surfaces, ensure the metal is scuff-sanded and primed to promote proper adhesion.
Apply the paint using high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for eggshell finishes. Work in a well-ventilated area to assist with the drying process. Once painted, allow the surface to fully cure before heavy cleaning. For routine maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water to remove dust or light marks, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the eggshell sheen.
