Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, dried, and that appropriate primers were used for metal, wood, or PVCu.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Ensure consistent brush strokes and avoid overworking the paint. Stir paint thoroughly before and during application.

Paint is too thick to apply smoothly

Ensure paint is adequately stirred. Avoid applying in very cold temperatures, which can thicken the paint. If necessary, consult product data for any thinning recommendations, though this product is generally designed for direct application.

Color inconsistency between cans
