Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a professional finish, follow these best practices:
- Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease or loose paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
- Application: Apply in thin, even coats. Allow adequate drying time as specified by the product consistency, typically waiting for the touch-dry stage before applying a second coat.
- Tools: Ensure all equipment is cleaned immediately after use with warm soapy water if using the water-based variant.
- Care: While the paint is washable, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. A soft cloth and mild detergent are sufficient to keep the surface looking pristine.
