Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering properly to the cabinet surface.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and degreased before painting. If the surface is very glossy, lightly sand it to create a 'key' for the paint to adhere to.
Visible wood knots or stains bleeding through the paint.
This paint typically doesn't require a primer, but for areas like wood knots that are prone to stain bleed, a suitable stain-blocking primer must be applied before painting.
Uneven finish or brush/roller marks are visible.
Ensure you are applying thin, even coats and not overloading your brush or roller. Allow adequate drying time between coats. For best results, work in a consistent direction.
Paint chipping or peeling after application.
Proper surface preparation is crucial. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of loose particles, and that the paint had sufficient time to fully cure before heavy use.
