What is the finish type?

What is the volume of the paint?

Troubleshooting

Paint appears too thick or clumpy.

Add a small amount of water to thin the paint. Mix well before reapplying.

Paint doesn't adhere well to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly primed. Allow the primer to dry completely before applying the paint.

Paint dries too quickly, leading to brush strokes.

Work in a well-ventilated area to prevent rapid drying. You can also add a retarder to extend drying time.

Color is not accurate after drying.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed before use. Use multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat.
