Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, dry, and free from contaminants. For best results, apply a suitable primer before painting. Re-apply primer and paint if necessary.
Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.
Ensure paint is adequately stirred before and during use. Apply in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or spray equipment. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint is taking too long to dry.
Drying times can be affected by temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Ensure you are painting in a well-ventilated area within the recommended temperature range. Avoid applying excessively thick coats.
Colour fade is noticeable after a short period.
Ensure the paint was applied correctly and is fully cured. If the painted item is exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, some fading may occur over time, although this product is designed for resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is key for optimal performance. Before application, ensure the surface (metal, wood, or plastic) is clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or other contaminants. For best results, apply a suitable primer to the surface. Shake the can vigorously before use. Apply the paint evenly using a brush or spray gun, following the manufacturer's recommendations for application method and thickness.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for use on a range of metals, wood, and plastic. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility, especially with plastics, as some types may react to paint. It is not recommended for use on surfaces that will be in prolonged contact with extreme heat or harsh chemicals.
Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with a suitable solvent (refer to paint can for specific recommendations, typically water for acrylics when wet, or appropriate thinners when dry). Once fully cured, the painted surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which could damage the finish.
