Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure even application by using a roller or brush suitable for matt paint. Apply the paint in consistent strokes and avoid over-brushing. Apply a second coat if necessary, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint does not cover the surface effectively.

Make sure the surface is properly prepared, and apply at least two coats of paint. In some cases, a primer might be needed before the first coat of paint.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry before painting. Scrape off any loose paint, sand the area to create a smooth surface, and apply a primer before painting.
