Troubleshooting

Coverage is less than expected.

Porous surfaces may require more coats. Ensure you're applying the recommended two coats for optimal coverage.

Paint appears streaky after drying.

Ensure you're applying the paint evenly and avoid over-brushing. Apply a second coat to even out the finish.
