Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Consider using a primer if necessary. Make sure you are using a Sandtex primer.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

This could be due to poor surface preparation, moisture issues, or incompatibility with the existing paint. Remove the loose paint, address any moisture issues, and reapply following proper preparation guidelines.

Color is not as expected.

Ensure the paint has been properly stirred before application. Apply two coats to achieve the desired color. The final color may vary slightly based on the existing surface color and the number of coats applied.

Ensure that the paint has fully cured. Check for any damage to the paint surface and repair as needed.
