Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared by cleaning, sanding (if necessary), and priming bare surfaces. Apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat.

Color appears different after drying.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before application. Consider the lighting conditions in the room as they can affect the perceived color.

Paint is not covering the surface adequately.

Apply a second coat of paint after the first coat has dried. Ensure even application and avoid applying too thinly.

Brush marks are visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply the paint evenly and avoid over-brushing. For a smoother finish, lightly sand between coats.
