Opening the Paint Can
- Remove Packaging: Take out the paint stick, pamphlet, and lid opener tool from the box.
- Verify Color: Lift the cardboard circle placed on top of the lid to see the color dab and confirm it matches your ordered color.
- Extract Can: Carefully lift the paint can out of the box and place it on a hard, stable surface.
- Remove Clips: Use the provided lid opener tool or a household screwdriver to pry off the metal clips securing the lid.
- Open Lid: Gently pry open the lid using the lid opener tool or a screwdriver.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal paint adhesion and finish. Follow these steps:
- Clean Surface: Remove all loose paint, dirt, grease, and other contaminants using a detergent. Rinse the surface thoroughly to remove all soap residue and allow it to dry completely.
- Smooth Imperfections: Scuff sand glossy surfaces. Repair any cracks or holes, sand smooth when dry, and then prime with this product.
- Dust Removal: Remove any dust with a damp cloth and allow to dry.
- New Surfaces: New plaster must be properly cured. New wood surfaces may require an oil-based primer/sealer. For metal surfaces, use an appropriate rust primer.
Operating (Application) Instructions
Mixing and Application
Although your paint was shaken before shipping, it is recommended to stir the paint thoroughly before and during application to ensure color uniformity and proper consistency.
- Stirring: Stir or mix the paint before using. If using multiple containers, intermix them to ensure consistent color.
- Application Tools: Apply this product as is with a high-quality applicator such as a 3/8-inch nap roller cover, brush, or pad painter.
- Spraying: If spraying, thin sparingly with water only if necessary.
- Coverage: Average coverage is 250-400 sq. ft. (37 square meters) per gallon (3.78 L).
Drying and Recoating
- Dry Time: The paint dries to the touch in approximately one hour.
- Recoat Time: If a second coat is necessary, wait at least four hours before recoating.

Maintenance and Cleanup
- Cleanup: Clean tools and spills immediately with warm water and soap.
- Cure Time for Cleaning: For gentle cleaning of painted surfaces with a non-abrasive cleaner, allow the paint to cure for 14 days.
- Satin Finish Benefits: Satin finishes are durable, resist mildew effectively, and are easier to clean than flat or eggshell finishes. They can be wiped down or lightly scrubbed.
Troubleshooting
- Inconsistent Color: Ensure thorough stirring of the paint before and during application. If using multiple cans, intermix them to achieve uniform color.
- Poor Coverage: Certain colors may require more than one coat for complete hide. Ensure proper surface preparation as described in the 'Setup' section.
- Paint Not Adhering: Verify that the surface was properly cleaned, free of contaminants, and dry. For glossy or stained surfaces, ensure a stain-blocking primer was used.
- Color Variation: Be aware that actual paint colors can vary from on-screen representations due to differences in sheen, lighting, surface texture, and application method.
