Troubleshooting
Paint not drying properly or remaining tacky.
Ensure adequate ventilation during and after application; do not close windows or doors, or heat radiators until the paint is fully dry (16 hours). Check ambient temperature and humidity, as very cold or damp conditions can prolong drying time. Apply thinner coats if current ones are too thick.
Uneven or streaky finish.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply the paint evenly with a good quality brush, avoiding over-brushing. Make sure the surface was properly prepared and undercoated, as an uneven base can affect the gloss finish.
Poor coverage or color transparency.
Verify that the recommended Dulux Professional Undercoat was applied and fully dried. Ensure the paint has been stirred well. Apply sufficient paint per coat; if necessary, a second coat can be applied after the first has fully dried.
