Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of wax and oil and was completely dry before application. Consider light sanding if applying to a very glossy or incompatible surface.

Uneven coverage or streaking

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Check if the brush or roller is suitable for acrylic paints.

Paint cracking or peeling

This can occur if applied too thickly or in very cold, damp conditions. Ensure the surface is stable and prepared correctly. Avoid application when temperatures are below 10°C or humidity is high.

Color does not match expectations

Colors can appear differently on various surfaces and under different lighting conditions. Test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure the previous surface color does not significantly influence the new color's appearance.
