Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and free of rust before application. Insufficient drying time between coats can also cause adhesion issues.
Uneven coverage or brush marks are visible.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats, using appropriate brushes or rollers. Allow sufficient drying time.
Paint is not drying or remains tacky.
Ensure application occurred in a well-ventilated area with appropriate temperature and humidity. Applying coats too thickly can impede drying. Check the product's stated drying times.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and rust. Lightly sand any rough areas and wipe clean. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
