Does it have a strong smell?

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dry before application. Remove any loose paint or debris. For very slick surfaces, a light sanding might improve adhesion.
Streaky or uneven finish
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller pressure. Avoid overworking the paint, especially on the final coat.
Color appears different than expected
Color appearance can vary based on lighting conditions and the number of coats applied. Ensure at least two coats have been applied for true color depth. Test a small area first.
Paint feels tacky after drying
This may indicate insufficient drying time or environmental conditions (high humidity). Ensure adequate ventilation and allow more time for curing. Avoid applying a second coat until the first is dry to the touch.
