Troubleshooting

Paint not drying properly

Ensure application conditions are within the recommended temperature and humidity range. Check for adequate ventilation. Ensure the correct thinner (if used) was applied according to specifications.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Stir paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply paint evenly with smooth, consistent strokes. Consider using a higher quality brush or spray equipment. Ensure the paint is at the correct viscosity for application.

Poor adhesion to the surface

Verify the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before application. Ensure no contaminants like oil or grease were present. Lightly abrading the surface prior to painting can improve adhesion.

Paint appears too thick or too thin

Stir the paint well. If necessary, add a small amount of appropriate solvent to thin the paint, following manufacturer guidelines. If too thin, allow it to thicken slightly in an open container (with ventilation).
