Troubleshooting
Uneven shimmer or patchiness after drying
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application to evenly distribute metallic pigments. Apply paint in thin, consistent coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
Poor coverage or desired metallic effect not achieved
Clean and properly prepare the surface. If the surface is porous or a contrasting color, it may absorb more paint. Apply additional thin coats until the desired metallic intensity and coverage are reached. Ensure each coat is dry before reapplication.
Paint not adhering well to the surface
Verify that the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or loose debris. For very smooth or glossy surfaces like glass or laminate, a light sanding or appropriate primer may be necessary to create a 'key' for better adhesion, though the paint is designed for multi-surface use.
