Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting.
Coverage seems less than expected.
Ensure you are applying an even coat and that the surface is not too porous. Porous surfaces may require more coats. Also ensure that you are applying at the recommended thickness.
The finish is not matte.
Make sure you are using Al Fresco paint, and not another Frenchic product. Check that you have stirred the paint thoroughly before application.
