Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after application.
Ensure even application with a roller or brush. Avoid applying too much paint at once. Apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat.
Paint not covering the surface adequately.
Apply a second coat after the first coat has dried. Ensure the surface is properly prepared, and for porous surfaces, use a mist coat first.
Paint is peeling or flaking.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry before painting. Scrape off any loose paint and sand the surface before repainting. Use a suitable primer if necessary.
Odour persists after painting.
Ensure good ventilation during and after painting. Although low odour, some smell may remain; this will dissipate with time.
