Troubleshooting
Uneven colour or finish
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply in consistent, even coats, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Check that the surface was properly prepared and primed.
Paint not adhering well
Verify that the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants before painting. Ensure an appropriate primer was used for the surface type (e.g., bare wood, metal).
Scuff marks showing easily
