Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and lightly sanded. Apply a thin first coat, allowing it to dry completely before adding additional coats.
Paint finish is uneven.
Apply thin, even coats, and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Ensure the brush or roller is appropriate for water-based paints.
Paint takes too long to dry.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as these can affect drying times. Apply thin coats.
