Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or thin.
If too thick, add a tiny amount of water to the paint on the mixing palette. If too thin, allow it to dry and apply a second coat.
Stickers are not adhering well.
Ensure the painted surface is completely dry and clean. Gently press the sticker down firmly, starting from the center and moving outwards.
Brush leaves streaks.
Use lighter, even strokes. Ensure the paint is adequately mixed. Consider using a second coat once the first is dry for a smoother finish.
Colors are not as vibrant as expected.
Apply a second or third coat of paint after the previous layer has dried. Ensure the base wood is not too dark or unevenly colored.
