Troubleshooting
Paint appears dull or lacks shimmer.
Ensure the bottle was shaken well before use to mix the metallic flakes. Apply a second thin coat for increased depth and brilliance.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Make sure the surface is properly cleaned and dry. Consider using a primer on very porous or slick surfaces before applying the paint.
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly.
Add a very small amount of water or a compatible acrylic medium to thin the paint slightly. Avoid over-thinning, which can reduce opacity.
Brushes are difficult to clean after use.
Clean brushes thoroughly with soap and water immediately after painting. Dried paint may require soaking or specialized brush cleaner.
