Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky after application.
Ensure even application. Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Make sure the roller or brush is loaded evenly and the paint is applied in consistent strokes. Multiple coats may be needed.
The color is not as expected.
Ensure the correct color was selected. Apply a test area before painting the entire wall. Allow the paint to dry completely to see the final color. Lighting can affect the perceived color.
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared. Prime the surface if necessary, especially on glossy or previously painted surfaces. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
