What is the best way to apply the paint?

Troubleshooting

Paint appears too dark or light compared to the sample.

Lighting conditions affect paint appearance. Test the sample in different lighting (natural and artificial) to get an accurate view.

The paint finish does not match expectations.

Ensure the sample is fully dry before evaluating the finish. The finish can also be affected by the surface; test on a similar surface to your project.

The paint doesn't seem to adhere well to the surface.

Make sure the surface is clean and free of grease, dust, or previous coatings. Lightly sand glossy surfaces for better adhesion.
