Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces for better adhesion. Apply a primer if necessary.

Uneven finish or streaks after application.

Apply the paint evenly using consistent strokes with a brush or roller. Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Ensure the roller is properly loaded with paint and not overloaded.

Colour appears different after drying.

Ensure paint is thoroughly mixed before application. Allow the paint to fully dry and cure to see the final colour. Consider the lighting in the room, as it can affect the appearance of the paint.

Paint takes longer to dry than expected.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as these can affect drying time. Apply thinner coats of paint and avoid applying paint too thickly.
