DID YOU KNOW?
Do not use over medium to darker colours as it will show streaks, this is water vapour trapped within the tough coat and is visible on dark colours in particular. Should streaking occur, you can simply apply the paint over top and leave it as is.
This is known as the “Tough Coat Sandwich”. It has Paint first, then Tough Coat, then Paint and it is beyond durable! This is only recommended for very high traffic surfaces
WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE?
The matte version leaves a flat matte finish, the gloss version has a high sheen glossy look. If the matte version is not mixed properly, the matting agent can remain on the bottle of the bottle and the finish can appear shiny.
