Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Apply a primer if necessary. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint finish is uneven or shows brush marks.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply an even coat of paint and avoid overbrushing or overrolling. Ensure the paint is mixed well.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, removing any loose paint or debris. Apply a primer if necessary. Avoid painting in extreme temperatures or humidity.

Colour is not as expected.

Ensure the paint is mixed thoroughly before application. Apply two coats for the true colour. Check the lighting in the room, as it can affect the perceived colour.

Paint takes too long to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Adjust the temperature and humidity levels if possible. Avoid applying thick coats of paint.
