Troubleshooting

Paint not covering adequately in one coat.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Apply a second coat as recommended for optimal opacity. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application.

Brush marks or roller texture are visible.

Ensure you are using the correct application tools for matt paint and applying evenly. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Uneven finish or patchiness.

Check for inconsistent application or inadequate stirring. Ensure edges are 'broken' or painted while the main surface is still wet to avoid lap marks. Apply the paint in a consistent pattern.

Paint is too thick to apply smoothly.

If necessary, thin slightly with water (usually no more than 10%) according to manufacturer guidelines, ensuring not to over-thin which can affect coverage and finish.
