Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, add a tiny amount of water (a teaspoon per 250ml) and stir well. Ensure the surface is not too porous.
Uneven color or patchy finish
Ensure the paint was stirred adequately before and during use. Apply paint evenly, maintaining a wet edge. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second coat.
Paint is not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and is free from dust, grease, or existing loose coatings. For challenging surfaces like certain plastics, a test patch is recommended.
Color looks different than expected
Test the paint on a small, inconspicuous area first. The color can appear differently depending on lighting conditions and the underlying surface color.
