Short answer
RepelX is designed to be sheen safe at 1 fl oz per gallon in compatible interior latex or acrylic paint.
Why testing still matters
Paints vary by brand, tint base, pigment load, sheen, resin system, and additive package. A small test area is smart for deep colors, specialty finishes, and high-visibility trim.
Best practice
Measure accurately, stir thoroughly, and use the paint manufacturer instructions for surface prep and drying time.
When not to use it
Do not use RepelX in oil-based paint, solvent-based paint, exterior paint, or coatings outside the label directions.
