Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, add a very small amount of water (e.g., 1 teaspoon per 500ml) and stir well. Avoid over-thinning.
Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.
Ensure paint is applied thinly and evenly. Use a good quality brush or roller. For subsequent coats, ensure adequate drying time has passed and maintain a wet edge.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of grease before application. Lightly sand glossy or laminate surfaces to create a key for the paint to adhere to.
Slight color variation between coats.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed before and during application. Apply coats evenly in consistent thickness. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
