Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and primed before application. Verify the primer was completely dry before painting.
Uneven texture or finish
This is often an intended effect of Gimcyn paint. If the variation is too extreme, consider using a different application tool or technique on future projects. Minor touch-ups may help blend areas.
Metallic shimmer is not prominent
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. The shimmer effect can be subtle and depends on lighting conditions; experiment with light angles to see its full effect.
Coverage requires more than one coat
While designed for single-coat coverage, ensure you are applying an adequate thickness. If the primer was not fully dry, it might affect opacity. Stirring the paint well is also crucial.
