Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from grease/dust). For very glossy surfaces, a light sanding may be required before application.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints. Ensure consistent application technique. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Coverage seems lower than expected

Verify the surface porosity and condition. For significantly absorbent surfaces, a mist coat (thinned first coat) might be beneficial. Ensure you are applying the recommended two coats for full depth.

Paint seems too thick

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick for your application method, very small amounts of water can be added (check manufacturer's recommendation, usually <5%).
