Troubleshooting
Paint is running or dripping.
Apply thinner coats and ensure you are holding the can the correct distance from the surface. Avoid over-applying paint.
Poor adhesion or flaking.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and sanded) before painting. Use a primer on metal surfaces.
Uneven finish or color.
Shake the can well before use and apply thin, even coats. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
