Troubleshooting

Paint is running or sagging during application

You are holding the can too close or applying the coat too heavily. Increase the distance to 15-25cm and apply thinner, lighter layers.

Surface feels rough after painting

This is often caused by 'overspray' or painting in windy conditions. Ensure you are working in a calm, controlled environment and avoid spraying from too far away.

Paint is not adhering correctly

The surface likely contains contaminants or was not primed. Ensure all wax and grease are removed, and apply Autotek Grey Primer before the topcoat.
