Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure proper surface preparation. Lightly sand and clean the surface before application. Make sure the surface is completely dry before painting.

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any contaminants. Consider using a primer if the surface is exceptionally smooth.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush or roller. If spraying, ensure proper dilution and technique.

Paint takes too long to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as these can affect drying times. Avoid applying too thick a coat.
