Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the metal surface was properly cleaned and free from grease or oil before application. Lightly abrading the surface may improve adhesion.
Paint appears streaky or uneven
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before use. Apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint during application.
Brush marks are visible
Use a good quality synthetic brush and apply thin coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats. For larger areas, consider using a roller.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the metal surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and loose rust. For best results on heavily rusted surfaces, remove loose rust and apply a suitable rust converter if necessary. For bare, unpainted metal, light abrasion can improve adhesion.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply one or two coats using a brush or roller. Apply in a well-ventilated area. Avoid applying in temperatures below 10°C or in very humid conditions.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for bare metal, cast iron, aluminum, and galvanized metal. It is not suitable for use under cellulose finishes. Test on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about compatibility with existing finishes or specific metal types.
Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with warm water. Store paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly closed.
