Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased. For very slick surfaces, a light sanding may be beneficial before application.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for the paint type.
Paint seems too thick
Stir the paint well. If still too thick for your preferred application method, a very small amount of water may be added, but use sparingly as it can affect the finish and durability.
Long drying times
Ensure application in a well-ventilated area at a suitable room temperature. Avoid applying in damp or very cold conditions, which can significantly slow drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Lightly abrading glossy surfaces can improve adhesion, though it's often not strictly necessary due to the paint's inherent properties.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for best results and durability, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior wood, laminate, previously painted surfaces, powder-coated radiators, and some metals. Not recommended for exterior use.
Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. For the painted surface, clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
