Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from dust or contaminants before application. A suitable primer may be necessary for chalky or porous surfaces.
Uneven finish
Apply paint evenly, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling. Ensure consistent application thickness. Check for drafts or uneven drying conditions.
Color variation between coats
Ensure adequate coverage with the first coat. Apply the second coat once the first coat is touch-dry, ensuring consistent application.
