Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

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

Color is not as expected.

Apply a second coat to achieve the desired color. Make sure to stir the paint well before use. The color may also appear different depending on the lighting in the room.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply the paint evenly, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling. Make sure not to apply too much or too little paint.
