Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Lightly sand smooth or glossy surfaces to improve grip.

Uneven color coverage

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between them.

Brush marks visible

Use a good quality brush and apply paint in consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Consider a second thin coat for a smoother finish.

Paint is too thick

Stir the paint well. If still too thick for your application, a very small amount of water can be added, but do not over-dilute as it may affect finish and durability.
