Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and lightly sanded). Apply a primer if necessary.
Paint is running or dripping.
Apply thinner coats and avoid overloading the brush or roller. If spraying, reduce the paint flow or increase the distance from the sprayer.
