Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water can be added (less than 5%) and mixed well. Ensure the paint has not been stored in extreme temperatures.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Ensure the paint is adequately stirred and applied in thin, even coats. Use a good quality brush or roller. Allow sufficient drying time between coats and consider a lighter application pressure.
Poor adhesion or chipping
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dry before application. Lightly degreasing or sanding very glossy surfaces can help. Ensure adequate coats were applied and that no primer or topcoat was incorrectly applied over it.
Paint not drying properly
Ensure application in a well-ventilated area with appropriate room temperature (typically above 10°C). Humidity can affect drying times.
