Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or poor durability
Ensure at least two coats are applied evenly. Make sure the surface was clean and properly prepared before painting. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Inconsistent color across a large project using multiple tins
Always intermix different batch numbers of the same color paint in a larger container before starting your project to ensure a uniform color throughout.
Poor coverage or thin application
Be aware that porous surfaces absorb more paint and may require additional coats. Ensure you apply enough paint to achieve full coverage, as thinner application may affect durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dirt, dust, or grease. For glossy or previously varnished surfaces, a light sand can help create a better key for adhesion, though simple prep is generally sufficient.
- Stir Well: Thoroughly stir the paint before use to ensure consistent color and texture.
- Intermix Tins (if applicable): If using more than one tin of the same color for a large project, it is good practice to intermix the batches prior to commencing painting to ensure perfect color consistency.
- Apply Coats: Apply an even coat of paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats. A minimum of two coats is recommended for a durable finish.
