Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Check if the correct primer was used for the substrate (wood or metal).

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Apply paint evenly, avoiding over-brushing. Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Consider using a higher quality brush for a smoother application.

Paint is too thick to apply.

Stir the paint well. If necessary, a very small amount of white spirit may be added for thinning, but follow manufacturer recommendations to avoid compromising durability.
