Troubleshooting

Paint is not drying or takes too long to dry.

Ensure application conditions are optimal: avoid painting in very high humidity or low temperatures. Apply thin, even coats. Provide good ventilation if possible. Note the 16-hour recoat time is expected.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and smooth before painting. Apply paint evenly and avoid over-brushing. Use a good quality brush appropriate for gloss paints.

Poor coverage or color looks patchy.

Thoroughly stir the paint before and during application to ensure pigments are well mixed. Ensure the recommended number of coats (typically two) has been applied, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Proper surface preparation and priming are also key.

Paint is bubbling or blistering after drying.

This often indicates moisture or contamination on the surface before painting. Ensure the surface is completely dry and clean. Remove any loose paint, sand the area, and reapply after thorough cleaning and drying.

Mould or mildew reappears after painting.

While the paint is mould-resistant, ensure any existing mould or mildew was thoroughly removed and treated with an appropriate fungicidal wash before painting. Proper surface preparation is crucial for the paint's protective properties to work effectively.
