Troubleshooting
Paint not covering imperfections well
Ensure at least two coats have been applied as recommended. Check if the surface was properly prepared and is free from imperfections that require filling.
Streaky or uneven finish
This can occur if paint is applied too thinly or if the surface was not prepared correctly. Ensure consistent application technique and proper surface prep. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint appears different in colour than expected
Colour perception can vary based on lighting and surrounding colours. Ensure you have applied the recommended number of coats. View the painted area in different lighting conditions.
Wipe marks showing after cleaning
Use a clean, damp cloth and gentle pressure. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning agents, which can damage the eggshell finish.
