Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and prepared, free of dust, grease, or moisture. A suitable primer may be required.

Uneven or streaky finish

Apply thinner, more even coats. Ensure the roller or brush is adequately loaded and move consistently. Check for temperature and humidity conditions during application.

Slow drying time

Verify application conditions are within the recommended temperature and humidity range. Ensure adequate ventilation. Thicker coats may take longer to dry.
