What is the coverage rate?

Do I need a special primer?
For most compatible surfaces, a primer is not strictly necessary. However, for challenging surfaces or to ensure maximum adhesion and durability, a suitable primer can be beneficial.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, degreased, and dry. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application. Check that the paint has been thoroughly stirred.
Brush marks are visible
Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use a high-quality brush and try to maintain a consistent direction of brush strokes. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint appears streaky or translucent
Apply additional thin coats. Ensure the paint is adequately stirred, as pigment can settle. Coverage may vary depending on the surface color and texture.
Paint is too thick for airbrushing
Thin slightly with water (typically no more than 10%). Test spray on scrap material after thinning to ensure proper flow and atomization.
