Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting.

Paint color appears uneven or streaky.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats, and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Ensure proper drying time between coats.

Paint is blistering or peeling.

Make sure the surface is completely dry before painting. Ensure the paint is compatible with the surface and that the appropriate primer has been applied if necessary.

Clean the area with a mold and mildew remover. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and consider applying a second coat of paint.
