Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick for application.

Thin with a suitable solvent, following manufacturer recommendations, until the desired consistency is achieved. Stir well after thinning.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Ensure the paint is applied with a good quality brush and even strokes. Apply in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint is not drying to the touch within 2 hours.

Ensure application conditions are within the recommended temperature and humidity range. Thick application or poor ventilation can slow drying.

Surface appears dull or lacks gloss.

Check that the paint was mixed thoroughly, as pigment can settle. Ensure application is on a properly prepared and primed surface. Consider applying a clear topcoat if extra gloss is desired.
