Troubleshooting

Paint appears too light or dark.

Lighting conditions affect the appearance of paint. Test the color in different lighting environments (natural and artificial).

Paint finish is not as expected.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. A smooth surface will give a smoother finish. Apply a second coat if necessary.
