Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. Remove any loose or flaking paint.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller application. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage as you apply.
Colour appears different after drying
Colours can appear slightly different in varying light conditions. Ensure two coats have been applied for the truest representation of the shade. Allow the paint to cure fully.
Difficulty cleaning marks
Ensure the paint has been allowed to cure fully (up to 14 days). Use a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
