Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering the surface evenly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, and apply a second coat. Using the correct application technique, like consistent roller strokes, can also help.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

This is often due to poor surface preparation. Remove any loose paint, sand the surface, and ensure it's clean and dry before repainting.

The finish has brush marks.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply an even coat and avoid overworking the paint. For best results, consider spraying.
