Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water can be added, but use sparingly to avoid compromising the finish.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared. Glossy surfaces may need more thorough abrasion before painting.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a good quality brush and maintain a wet edge. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Color appears different in different lighting
This is common with paint colors. Test a painted swatch in the intended location under various lighting conditions before committing to the entire project.
