Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Shake the can more vigorously for an extended period. Clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds. If blockage persists, remove the nozzle and clean with a suitable solvent, then reattach.
Runs or drips on the surface
Apply paint in thin, even coats from the recommended distance (10-12 inches). Avoid applying too much paint at once. If runs occur, allow to dry fully, then lightly sand and reapply thin coats.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before application. Lightly sand the surface and reapply using thin coats. Check for incompatible surface treatments.
