Application

Spray Application:
Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the packaging
Note: If using more than one tin of the same colour, intermix prior to use to ensure colour consistency. Check tinted product before application to avoid colour differences.
Aftercare & Storage
The coating reaches its final hardness and durability after around one month under normal conditions. During this curing period, handle surfaces with care. If cleaning is required shortly after painting, use only a soft brush or lightly damp cloth.
Allow the painted surface to cure for approximately one month before carrying out routine cleaning. Once fully cured, clean using a soft brush, sponge or cloth with a neutral pH (6–8) detergent solution. For heavier soiling, use a mild alkaline cleaner (pH 8–10), then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
