What is the best way to store leftover paint?
Store leftover paint in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Make sure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the paint from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or patchy appearance after application.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, apply two coats, and use even strokes when applying the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint not covering the existing color adequately.
Apply a primer before painting, especially if the existing color is dark. Additional coats of paint may also be required.
Paint appears too thin or transparent.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed before application. Apply a second coat after the first has dried completely.
