Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded if it's glossy. Consider priming if necessary.

Brush strokes are visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply thin, even coats and avoid over-brushing. For a smoother finish, consider spraying.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure proper surface preparation. Make sure the paint is compatible with the existing finish. Apply a primer if needed.

Color is not as expected.

Ensure the paint is mixed well. Apply two coats for the true color. Lighting conditions can also affect the perceived color.
