Troubleshooting
Paint is not covering well
Ensure surface is properly primed and that you are applying an even coat. Check if the surface is porous and may require a second coat or primer.
Brush marks are visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats, brushing in one direction. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Ensure you are using a good quality brush designed for gloss paints.
Paint is too thick to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a small amount of appropriate solvent may be added, but do so sparingly as it can affect the finish and drying time.
Surface remains tacky after 24 hours
This could be due to application in cold or humid conditions, or if applied too thickly. Ensure adequate ventilation and appropriate temperature for drying. Avoid recoating until the surface is properly dry to the touch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key: Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and sound. Remove any loose paint, dirt, or grease. Sand down glossy surfaces to create a key for the paint to adhere to. For bare wood, apply a suitable primer first. For metal, use a metal primer to prevent rust.
Application Methods: This paint can be applied by brush or roller. Ensure you use good quality tools for the best finish. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
Compatibility: Suitable for most interior and exterior surfaces, including wood and metal. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure about compatibility with existing finishes.
