Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or glossy residues. Apply a primer if painting over a difficult surface or bare plaster.
Uneven finish after drying
Apply the paint evenly with consistent brush or roller strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting when applying.
