Color mismatch

Ensure the correct paint code (L163/163L) is used. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing each to dry fully. Consider applying a clear coat for added protection and gloss.

Apply thinner coats and avoid spraying too heavily in one area. Ensure the can is the correct distance from the surface.

Poor coverage
