Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven
Ensure the surface is properly primed. Apply thin, even coats and allow each coat to dry before applying the next. If the issue persists, add a flow improver.
Paint is too thick
Add a few drops of water or a flow medium to thin the paint. Mix well.
Paint is not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared. Lightly sand non-porous surfaces. Consider using a primer.
