• Application: Apply the paint evenly by brush, roller, or spray. Stir thoroughly before use.
• Thinning: Thin with the recommended solvent thinner only as required for the application method (especially spray).

Pro Tips

• For the highest gloss level, apply in thin, even coats and use a fine-quality brush or short-nap foam roller.
• Always use a high-quality undercoat matched to the color for the best final appearance and maximum opacity.
• Do not apply in direct, scorching sunlight; apply in the morning or early evening for the best curing result.
• For metal, ensure the primer coat is completely dry and sound before applying the gloss.
• Store the paint can sealed tightly in a cool, dry area away from heat sources.
