- Paintbrushes (various sizes)

- Sandpaper or surface preparation tools (optional)
Step-by-Step Application Guide:
1. prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. Sand the surface to create a smooth finish.
2. Apply Primer (Optional): If recommended by the manufacturer, apply a primer to the surface to enhance paint adhesion and coverage.
3. Apply Paint: Use a paintbrush, roller, or sprayer to apply the paint to the surface, working in sections to maintain even coverage.
4. Allow Paint to Dry: Let the paint dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually between 30 minutes to an hour.
