Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure proper surface preparation before application. Remove loose paint, clean the surface, and ensure it is dry before painting. Inadequate surface prep or applying to a damp surface are common causes.

Poor coverage or uneven finish.

Apply an even coat of paint. Ensure the surface is properly primed if necessary. Apply a second coat to achieve better coverage. Using the correct application method (brush, roller, or spray) is also important.

Paint is not drying properly.

Ensure the application surface is completely dry. Ensure adequate ventilation during the drying process. Check the product's expiry date; expired paint may not dry correctly.
