Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or brush marks.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and smooth. Apply paint evenly in thin coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.
Paint feels tacky or is taking too long to dry.
Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Apply thinner coats and allow sufficient drying time as specified on the can. Humidity and temperature can affect drying.
Paint not adhering well or peeling.
Proper surface preparation is crucial. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded (if previously painted gloss) to create a good 'key' for the paint to adhere to.
