Troubleshooting
Uneven colour finish
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply paint evenly and avoid over-spreading. Ensure adequate lighting to see where paint has been applied. Two coats are generally recommended.
Paint not adhering well
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Glossy surfaces should be lightly sanded, and a primer may be necessary on porous or previously unpainted surfaces.
Streaking or brush marks visible
Use a good quality brush or roller and apply paint with consistent strokes. Avoid applying too thickly and work methodically. Ensure you are using the correct technique for cutting in and rolling large areas.
