Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free of grease or dust. Glossy surfaces may need light sanding before application.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Stir the paint thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.
Paint peeling or chipping after drying
A second coat is recommended for enhanced durability, especially on high-traffic surfaces. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that no contaminants were present.
Colour appears different from the tin
Colours can appear differently depending on lighting and the surface colour underneath. Stir the paint well and consider a test patch.
