Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering properly to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared by cleaning, degreasing, and sanding if needed. For non-porous surfaces, ensure the surface is primed before application.

Uneven finish or poor coverage.

Stir the paint thoroughly before application. Apply an even coat and avoid applying too much paint at once. Consider applying a second coat if necessary.

Paint takes a long time to dry.

Ensure the application environment is well-ventilated. Avoid applying paint in very humid or cold conditions. Make sure the applied coat is not too thick.

Mould growth appearing on the painted surface.
