Troubleshooting

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from dust/grease). Lightly sand smooth surfaces before application. Check for moisture on the surface.

Uneven color or finish

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats. Ensure consistent application technique across the surface. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or windy conditions.

Slow drying time

Drying times are estimates and can be affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure application is not too thick. Allow more time in cooler or damp conditions.
