Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat. Make sure you are using a good quality brush or roller and apply paint evenly.

Paint is not covering the surface adequately.

Apply a second coat, allowing the first coat to dry completely. Consider using a primer if the existing color is significantly different or if the surface is porous.

Paint is taking longer to dry than expected.

Ensure adequate ventilation and that the room temperature is within the recommended range. High humidity can also slow down drying time.
