Troubleshooting
Paint not covering well
Ensure surface is properly prepared and not overly porous. Apply a primer if necessary. Check if the paint is applied too thinly or if the surface colour is very dark underneath.
Uneven sheen or finish
Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly before and during use. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or on overly hot surfaces. Maintain a wet edge when painting to prevent lap marks.
Paint peeling or flaking
Surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or old flaking paint. A primer might be needed for certain surfaces.
Difficulty cleaning brushes/rollers
Clean tools immediately after use with warm water. Dried paint can be difficult to remove from water-based products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may improve adhesion.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush, roller, or spray. For best results, apply two coats, allowing the first coat to dry for 3-4 hours before applying the second. Use in a well-ventilated area.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Not recommended for exterior use or high-moisture areas like shower cubicles without appropriate preparation or sealing.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. To maintain the finish, wipe away light marks and dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the silk finish.
