Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and free from dust, grease, or old, flaking paint. Re-apply after ensuring proper surface preparation.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats. Avoid over-brushing. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Slight tackiness after drying
This can occur in humid conditions or if applied too thickly. Ensure good ventilation. Apply a thinner second coat if necessary, and allow extra drying time.
Surface still shows scuffs after drying
