Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or streaky
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, add a very small amount of water (around 5-10%) and mix well. Avoid over-thinning.
Poor adhesion on certain surfaces
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and free from dust, grease, or wax. For very slick or glossy surfaces, a light degreasing and scuff sand may be necessary.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint evenly using smooth, overlapping strokes. Work in manageable sections. Ensure you are using a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints.
Slight colour variation between coats
Ensure each coat is fully dry before applying the next. Stir the paint well before and during application. Consistent lighting during application can also help.
