Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well to a surface
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. For glossy surfaces like plastic or metal, lightly scuff with fine-grit sandpaper before painting. Allow adequate drying and curing time.
Streaky or uneven finish
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a quality brush and allow proper drying time between coats. Ensure the paint is properly mixed.
Paint chipping after curing
The paint may not have been fully cured. Allow more time for the finish to harden, especially in humid conditions. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that no incompatible sealers were used.
Difficulty cleaning brushes
Clean brushes immediately after use with soap and water. Dried paint can be softened with alcohol, but immediate cleaning is best.
