Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Gently shake the bottle before use. If still clumpy, it may be old or exposed to air; consider replacing.
Poor adhesion to surface
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, oils, or residues. For very slick surfaces, a light scuffing or a compatible primer might improve adhesion, though typically not required.
Uneven or streaky finish
Apply thin, even coats using a suitable brush. Allow each coat to dry partially before applying the next. Avoid overworking the paint.
Color does not appear as vibrant as expected
Apply additional thin coats until the desired opacity and vibrancy are achieved. The finish is best on darker or primed surfaces for maximum shimmer effect.
