Troubleshooting
Paint is not flowing smoothly, and brush marks are visible.
Ensure you are using the correct application technique. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid over-brushing. Make sure you use the appropriate brush for gloss paint. If necessary, lightly sand the surface between coats.
Paint is not drying properly.
Ensure proper ventilation. The drying time can be affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure sufficient time between coats, as specified by the manufacturer.
Paint is running or sagging.
Apply thinner coats and avoid applying too much paint at once. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free from contaminants. Address any drafts that could be affecting the drying.
Color is not as expected.
Ensure that the paint was mixed correctly. If using a tinted color, verify the color match. Apply multiple coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats, to achieve the desired color depth.
