Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free from grease, dirt, or loose rust before application. Check that the surface was dry.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application. Apply with smooth, even strokes using a good quality brush. Apply a second coat to even out the finish.

Paint appears too thick

Stir the paint well. If the temperature is very cold, the paint may thicken. Avoid thinning water-based paints unless absolutely necessary and only with a small amount of water as per manufacturer instructions.

Rust is reappearing after painting

Ensure all loose rust was removed and the surface was completely dry before painting. For heavily rusted areas, multiple coats may be required, ensuring full coverage.
