Application

The surfaces must be completely clean and dry before painting.

• Stir thoroughly before use.

• Use the brush to paint corners, tile joints and places you can't reach with a roller in a thin layer
• Apply the paint to all surface with felt roller in a thin layer, make sure that you don’t apply too much paint as this can cause paint sagging on the surface.
• Leave to dry for at least 16 hours between coats.

• Remove the tapes immediately after final layer application.
• Reapply silicone if needed.

• 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

  Allow the painted surface to cure for approximately 1 month to achieve full hardness and durability. During this period, handle with care and, if cleaning is necessary, use only a soft brush or damp cloth.

  After one month, surfaces can be cleaned with a soft sponge or cloth and a neutral pH (6–8) detergent solution. For heavier soiling, use a mild alkaline cleaner (pH 8–10), then rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and rough sponges, and do not allow water to remain on horizontal surfaces.

  Freshly painted surfaces may temporarily soften when exposed to water but will return to their normal hardness after around 30 minutes of drying.
