Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Fill any cracks or holes, and sand smooth.
Prime (if necessary): For new plaster, porous surfaces, or when painting over a significantly darker colour, apply a suitable primer.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even colour and consistency.
Apply Evenly: Use a good quality brush or roller. Apply 2 coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats (refer to product label for specific times).
Clean Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water.
Surfaces: Compatible with interior walls, ceilings, furniture, and cabinets.
Base: Suitable for application over previously painted surfaces, plaster, drywall, and wood, provided surfaces are properly prepared.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces: Due to its durable nature, painted surfaces can typically be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.
Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying.
Environmental: The low VOC formulation contributes to better indoor air quality during and after painting. Dispose of unused paint and containers responsibly according to local regulations.
