Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well to tiles
Ensure tiles were thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. A specialized tile primer might be necessary for very glossy or smooth surfaces.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Ensure paint is applied evenly with consistent strokes. Do not overwork the paint. Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for matt finishes. Apply a second coat if necessary, following drying guidelines.
Water marks appearing
Verify that the paint has fully cured (this can take several days to weeks). Ensure multiple coats have been applied correctly. If issues persist, check for underlying moisture problems.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn stains
Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could dull the matt finish.
