Paint is not adhering well to the grout
Ensure the grout is completely clean, dry, and free of any residues. Re-clean the grout and allow it to dry thoroughly before reapplying.
Uneven coverage or streaks
Apply a second thin coat after the first coat has dried. Use consistent, even strokes with the brush.
