How to use

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease or loose material. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to achieve an even pearlescent effect. Apply a thin, even coat with a brush or sponge; for more intense metallic coverage allow to dry and apply an additional coat as needed. Avoid heavy application that may run or pool. Clean tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results on wood or previously painted surfaces, sand lightly and prime with a suitable primer if necessary to achieve uniform adhesion and opacity. Test the paint on a small inconspicuous area to check the final pearlescent effect and ensure compatibility with the substrate. Use in well-ventilated spaces and store the product sealed at moderate temperatures.
