Uneven or patchy coverage

Apply additional thin coats, maintaining a consistent distance and speed. Ensure the surface was properly primed and is clean.

Paint is running or dripping

You are likely applying the paint too thickly or too close to the surface. Apply more thin coats with longer drying intervals.

Poor adhesion or peeling

The surface was not properly prepared (not clean, no primer). Ensure the surface is degreased and primed correctly before reapplying.
