Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well or peeling
Ensure surfaces were properly prepared and clean before application. Check that the correct primer was used for bare wood or metal. The surface may have been damp during application.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Avoid over-brushing. Ensure you are working in suitable temperature conditions.
Paint appears duller than expected
The paint has a soft, low sheen finish. Ensure you have allowed adequate drying time; the final sheen develops as it fully cures. Check for environmental factors like heavy moisture.
Water beading or not running off surface
Verify that the surface is correctly angled to allow water run-off. Ensure no obstructions are present. The paint itself is waterproof, but the surface design influences drainage.
