Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure proper surface preparation (cleaning, sanding) before application. Ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a second coat if needed.

Paint not adhering properly.

Make sure the surface is clean and free of contaminants. Lightly sand the surface to create a key for the paint. Check the compatibility of the paint with the surface.

Uneven finish or brush marks.

Apply thinner coats of paint and avoid over-brushing. If using a brush, use a high-quality brush. Use a roller or sprayer for a smoother finish.

Color is not as expected.

Ensure you've chosen the correct color. Apply two coats for the intended color depth and allow the paint to fully cure. Consider testing a small area with a tester sachet.
