Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dried, and prepared. Glossy surfaces should be abraded. Use an appropriate primer or undercoat if necessary.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply the paint evenly with a quality brush or roller. Avoid applying too thickly. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
Sheen differences after cleaning
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent, and avoid excessive rubbing. For persistent marks, re-apply a thin, even coat in that area after ensuring it is clean and dry.

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For new or unpainted plaster, use an appropriate Crown plaster undercoat. For previously painted surfaces, apply a mist coat of thinned emulsion before the topcoats.
