Troubleshooting
Patchy finish after drying

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the paint, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or dust. Fill any cracks or holes with an appropriate filler and sand smooth before priming if necessary. This paint is compatible with most standard interior primers. For the best finish, apply two coats, allowing the manufacturer-recommended drying time between applications. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners; instead, wipe the surface gently with a slightly damp, soft cloth if spot cleaning is required.
