The quality and durability of your paint will depend on the preparation of the surface:
1. Dust and clean the surface.

3. Applying the paint well
If the application itself is not particularly complex, a good technique is necessary to paint without streaks.

Corners and edges should always be cleared first, using a small-diameter brush or a paintbrush.
