Troubleshooting
Paint is clumping or drying too quickly.
Ensure the paint is properly thinned for airbrush application. Check for blockages in the airbrush nozzle. For brush application, work in a well-ventilated area.
Poor coverage or uneven finish.
Apply multiple thin coats instead of one thick coat. Ensure the surface is properly primed and smooth. Adjust the airbrush settings for optimal paint flow.
