Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.
Ensure thorough stirring of the paint before application. Apply a second coat, and make sure to apply an even coat and avoid overworking the paint.
The paint is not covering the surface adequately.
Ensure the surface is properly primed and apply a second coat of paint. In some cases, a third coat may be necessary, especially over darker colours.
