Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application. Ensure no primer or topcoat was used, as this paint is self-priming and self-sealing.
Uneven or streaky finish
Stir the paint thoroughly. Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply paint in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint seems too thick
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. If necessary, a very small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added to aid application, but this may slightly affect the finish and durability. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Surface is still showing through after two coats
The specific colour or surface may require an additional coat for full opacity. Ensure coats are applied thinly and evenly.
