Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the paint, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For new plaster or highly porous surfaces, use a recommended mist coat or primer first. Apply using a brush for cutting-in and a roller for large areas. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners; instead, gently wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth if cleaning is required.
