Troubleshooting
Paint not covering evenly
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that the paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply paint evenly with a consistent technique, working in manageable sections.
Brush marks or roller texture visible
Stir the paint well and apply with a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint; apply in smooth, consistent strokes. Ensure the surface is not too absorbent; a primer might be needed.
Paint peeling or flaking after drying
This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint before application. A primer may be necessary for certain substrates.
Color appears different from the swatch
Color perception can vary based on lighting conditions and surrounding colors. Ensure adequate drying time, as the color may deepen slightly. Consider painting a small test area first.
