Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy coverage
Shake the can more thoroughly before and during use. Apply in thinner, more even coats from a consistent distance. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked.
Paint runs or drips
The paint was likely applied too thickly or too close to the surface. Remove excess paint if possible, let dry completely, and then reapply in thin, even coats from the recommended distance.
Nozzle clogged
Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If still blocked, remove the nozzle carefully and clean with a suitable solvent, then reattach. Ensure the can is properly sealed after use.
Poor adhesion or chipping
The surface may not have been properly prepared (not clean, dry, or sanded). Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application.
