Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Paint appears streaky or uneven.

Apply an even coat of paint, avoiding over brushing or rolling. Ensure adequate paint on the roller or brush and allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second coat.

Mold or mildew is still present after painting.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned before painting. Improve ventilation in the bathroom, and consider using a bathroom cleaner designed to prevent mold growth.

The paint is taking longer than expected to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Check the temperature and humidity levels; excessive humidity can slow down drying. Ensure that the coat isn't applied too thick.
