Troubleshooting
Paint appears patchy or uneven after drying.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth) and primed if needed. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overloading your brush or roller. Allow adequate drying time between coats before applying the next layer.
Paint isn't covering the old colour effectively, even after multiple coats.
If painting over a significantly darker or contrasting colour, a primer is often necessary. Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly to distribute pigments evenly. Consider an additional thin coat after proper drying.
Bubbles or blisters appearing on the painted surface.
This can occur if the paint is applied too thickly, if the surface is too hot, or if there's moisture trapped underneath. Ensure thin, even coats and paint in a temperate environment. Proper surface preparation (cleaning, drying) is crucial.
