3. Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation is crucial for achieving a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. Follow these steps:

1. Remove Loose Paint: Ensure all loose or peeling paint is completely removed from the surface.
2. Clean Surface: Clean the surface thoroughly with a detergent to remove dirt, grease, and other contaminants. Rinse well to eliminate all soap residue and allow the surface to dry completely.
3. Scuff Sand Glossy Surfaces: For previously painted glossy surfaces, scuff sand to create a profile for better adhesion.
4. Repair Imperfections: Repair all cracks and holes. Sand smooth once dry.
5. Remove Dust: Wipe away any dust with a damp cloth and allow to dry.
6. Cure New Plaster: New plaster must be properly cured before painting. Once cured, prime with this product.
7. Prime New Wood: New wood surfaces may require an oil-based primer/sealer.
8. Prime Metal: For metal surfaces, use a proper rust primer before applying this paint.
9. Stained Surfaces: On stained surfaces, use a stain-blocking primer sealer.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues that may arise during painting projects:

• Poor Coverage / Thin Appearance: Ensure proper surface preparation. Apply additional coats if necessary, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Some colors naturally require more coats for full opacity.
• Uneven Color: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during application. If using multiple cans, intermix them to ensure consistent color.
• Paint Not Adhering: Verify that the surface was properly cleaned, free of dirt, grease, and soap residue, and scuff-sanded if glossy. Ensure appropriate primers were used for new wood, metal, or stained surfaces.
• Visible Imperfections: Semi-gloss finishes can highlight surface flaws. Ensure all cracks and holes are patched and sanded smooth before painting.
