Troubleshooting
Paint not covering evenly
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed. Stir the paint thoroughly. Apply in consistent, even strokes, and consider a second coat if necessary after the first has dried.
Visible brush marks or roller texture
Ensure you are using the correct application tools for the paint type. Apply thin, even coats rather than thick ones. Avoid overworking the paint once it starts to dry.
Paint is too thick or thin
Stir the paint well. If it is too thick, check the product instructions for recommended thinning (usually a very small amount of water, if permitted). If too thin, it may be a manufacturing defect, contact the supplier.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Surface preparation is key. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of contaminants before painting. Use a primer if necessary. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old wallpaper. Fill any cracks or holes. Apply a suitable primer if painting over dark colours or previously unpainted surfaces. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: This vinyl matt paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most common interior decorating tools, including brushes, rollers, and sprayers (check manufacturer guidelines for specific tool compatibility).
Care: To maintain the finish, clean surfaces gently with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, especially on newly painted surfaces. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent solution on a cloth, wiping gently. Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7 days) before attempting deep cleaning.
