Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply paint in even, consistent strokes, avoiding over-brushing. Make sure the surface is properly prepared and free of imperfections.
Paint is not drying within expected time or remains tacky.
Check the ambient temperature and humidity; paint may take longer to dry in cold or damp conditions. Ensure thin, even coats are applied; thick coats will prolong drying time significantly. Provide good ventilation to aid drying.
Poor coverage or colour depth after one coat.
This paint is designed for optimal results in two coats. Ensure the first coat is fully dry (16 hours) before applying the second. Apply the second coat evenly to achieve the desired rich colour and finish.
