Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, sanded, and primed. If using a different primer, ensure it is compatible with uPVC.

Paint is cracking or peeling.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid over application. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Uneven finish or brush marks.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply the paint evenly and avoid overworking the paint. For a smoother finish, consider using a sprayer.
