Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Paint finish is not uniform.

Ensure thorough stirring of the paint before application. Apply an even coat and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Apply two coats.

Paint is taking too long to dry.

Ensure proper ventilation and temperature. High humidity can slow down drying times.

Poor coverage after two coats.

Ensure that the existing surface is not too porous, which can absorb more paint. Apply an extra coat if necessary. Ensure that you have applied the paint evenly.
