Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, dry, and free from any contaminants like dust, grease, or old wallpaper paste. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may improve adhesion.

Uneven color after one coat

Apply a second coat as recommended for depth of color and a more durable finish. Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application.

Difficulty cleaning marks

Allow the paint to fully cure (typically 7-14 days) before attempting intensive cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive materials.

Brush marks visible

Apply paint using even, consistent strokes. Work in manageable sections and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks. A high-quality brush or roller designed for water-based paints is recommended.
