Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to promote adhesion. Check for any residue from previous cleaning products.
Paint is cracking or peeling.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly dry before applying paint. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid applying too much paint at once. Consider the surrounding weather and avoid extreme temperatures during application.
Color is not as expected.
Ensure you've selected the correct color. Apply two coats as recommended. Allow the paint to fully dry and cure to see the final color result.
Paint is running or dripping.
Ensure you're not applying too much paint at once. Use a brush or roller to smooth out any drips. If spraying, reduce the paint flow or increase the distance from the sprayer.
Uneven finish.
Apply the paint evenly, avoiding thick or thin spots. If using a brush or roller, work in the same direction to achieve a uniform finish. Ensure proper dilution if spraying.
