Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old flaking paint. For difficult surfaces, consider a suitable primer.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller application. Avoid over-brushing or applying too thickly. Ensure paint is well-stirred.

Strong solvent smell during application.

Ensure the area is well-ventilated during and after application. Wear appropriate respiratory protection if necessary.

Paint not covering adequately.

Ensure you are applying two full coats as recommended. If making a drastic colour change, a coloured undercoat might be necessary.

White paint appearing yellow or discoloured over time.

This is a characteristic of solvent-based white paints, especially in low-light areas. For areas requiring long-lasting whiteness, consider a water-based alternative like Dulux Trade Quick Dry Satinwood.
