Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean, degreased, and lightly sanded. Consider using a bonding primer on laminate or very smooth surfaces.
Uneven finish or brush marks.
Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply thin, even coats and avoid over-brushing. Allow the paint to self-level.
Poor coverage.
Ensure you're applying two coats. Porous surfaces may require more coats. Make sure you are applying the paint at the recommended thickness.
Paint color different from expected.
Ensure the paint is fully mixed and that you are using the correct batch number. Test the color on a small, hidden area before painting the entire project.
