Troubleshooting

Uneven coverage or streaking after application.

Ensure you are applying an even coat of paint and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Apply a second coat if needed, allowing for the recommended drying time between coats.

Paint is not adhering properly to the surface.

Make sure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and free from any loose material. Consider priming the surface before applying the paint.

Color is not as expected.

Ensure you have thoroughly mixed the paint before application. Color can also vary slightly depending on lighting. Consider testing the color with a tester sachet before painting the entire area.

Paint takes longer to dry than expected.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as these can affect drying times.
