FAQ

Can I use this paint on previously painted surfaces?

The satin finish is formulated to resist yellowing on light colors, but applying clear topcoats over bright white may cause slight yellowing due to substrate reactions.

While the paint includes UV absorbers, it is intended for interior applications. For exterior projects, choose a product specifically rated for outdoor exposure.
