Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and free of dust, grease, or silicone. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuff with fine-grit sandpaper might improve adhesion.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a good quality brush or roller designed for water-based paints. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure the surface is level and free from dust.
Paint appears too thin
The paint is designed to be self-priming. If a thicker consistency is desired, ensure the paint is well-stirred. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat for a more durable and even finish.
Colour looks different than expected
Colours can appear different under various lighting conditions and on different base surfaces. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure you have applied the recommended number of coats for true colour representation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or wax. For most surfaces, no special preparation is needed due to the paint's self-priming properties. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting boards, doors, powder-coated radiators, metal, laminate, and general furniture, including kitchen cupboards. It is also safe for children's toys (EN71-3 certified).
Care: Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use. The paint is water-based and low-odour. For cleaning the painted surface, use a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 1-2 hours, though recoating for best durability is recommended after the second coat is dry.
