Tip: To prevent streaking, use enough product to fully cover surface, but not so much that it gathers into pooling or drips. Product will dry quickly, if working in hot or windy conditions, work quickly to avoid drying/streaking/dragging issues. Tint Armordilla with a small amount of base coat color to prevent streaking/ghosting/fogging, especially over dark colors.
Not recommended for use below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Can take longer to dry in damp/humid conditions. Keep from extreme temps. Keep out of reach of children.
