Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply thin, even coats, working in one direction. Avoid overworking the paint. For very dark colors, consider using a high-quality synthetic brush and applying in a cross-hatch pattern for the final coat.
Poor adhesion or peeling.
Surface preparation may have been insufficient. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Glossy surfaces should be lightly sanded before application.
Paint is not drying between coats.
Ensure adequate ventilation and appropriate temperature (typically 10-25°C). Humidity levels can affect drying times; reduce humidity if possible. Avoid applying excessively thick coats.
Surface is not fully scrubbable after 7 days.
Ensure the paint has been applied in recommended conditions and that two full coats have been applied. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, stick to mild detergent and a damp cloth.
