Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.
Ensure you are applying the paint evenly, using a good quality roller or brush. Avoid applying too much paint at once. Apply a second coat after the first has dried completely.
The colour doesn't match the sample.
Check the lighting conditions in your room, as they can affect the appearance of the colour. Allow the paint to fully dry, as the colour may change slightly during the drying process. Ensure you have the correct paint colour by checking the label.
The paint doesn't cover well.
Ensure the surface is properly primed (if required). Apply two coats of paint, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.
Paint is peeling or flaking.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose or flaking paint before application. Check for moisture issues that might be affecting adhesion.
