How do I clean the painted surface?

Troubleshooting

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded. Apply a thin coat and allow it to dry completely before the second coat.

Brush strokes are visible.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats and avoid over-brushing. Use a good quality brush or roller.

Coverage is not sufficient.
