Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants. Lightly sand and prime the surface if necessary.

Paint is showing brush marks or roller marks.

Apply thinner coats and avoid overbrushing or overrolling. Ensure the paint is applied evenly. Use a high-quality brush or roller.

Paint is peeling or chipping.

Ensure proper surface preparation. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Consider a bonding primer for difficult surfaces.
