Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. Apply a thin first coat.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush or a foam roller for a smoother finish. Ensure the paint is not too thick.
Paint is peeling
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, with no loose paint or previous finishes. Apply a primer suitable for the surface if necessary.
