Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Check if a suitable primer was used on bare or problematic surfaces. For previously painted surfaces, ensure old paint was sound and lightly abraded.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking it. Use a high-quality brush or roller. Ensure paint is adequately stirred and applied in the correct thickness. Allow proper drying time between coats.
Color appears different than expected
Color can vary based on the number of coats applied, the surface color underneath, and lighting conditions. Ensure you have applied the recommended number of coats and allow paint to fully dry before final judgment. Consider applying to a small test area first.
Paint is drying too quickly or too slowly
Drying times are influenced by temperature and humidity. Avoid painting in extreme conditions (too hot, too cold, or very humid). Ensure adequate ventilation if drying is too slow.
