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

Ensure two coats were applied and allowed to cure fully. The finish becomes more durable over a few days. Avoid heavy use or cleaning for at least 7 days.
