Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded. Apply a second coat, allowing the first coat to dry completely.

Paint is running or dripping.

Apply thinner coats and avoid overloading the brush or roller. If spraying, check the nozzle and adjust the spray pattern.

Uneven finish or streaks.

Ensure even coverage and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. If using a brush, apply in the direction of the wood grain.

Color is not as expected.

Always test the color on a small, hidden area first. Allow the paint to dry completely to see the true color.
