Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from dust or grease before application. Re-sanding may be necessary for very smooth or previously painted surfaces.

Uneven coverage

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Ensure your brush or roller is adequately loaded but not overloaded. Proper surface preparation is key to even application.

Paint is too thick

Check the paint's condition. If it seems excessively thick, ensure it is stirred thoroughly. This paint is designed for a smooth consistency; thinning is generally not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer for specific conditions.

Color not as expected

Color can appear different on various surfaces and under different lighting conditions. Ensure adequate coats have been applied and allow for full drying time. Check the product batch for consistency if multiple cans were used.
