Troubleshooting
Glitter clumps together in the paint.
Ensure you are adding the glitter gradually and stirring very thoroughly. A whisk attachment on a drill on a low setting can help achieve better dispersion for larger batches.
Uneven glitter distribution on the wall.
Stir the paint frequently during application to prevent settling. Apply paint evenly and consider a second coat if a more intense sparkle is desired, ensuring even mixing for both coats.
Glitter appears dull or doesn't sparkle as expected.
Ensure adequate lighting on the surface. The glitter's reflectivity is dependent on light sources. Also, confirm that the glitter was mixed thoroughly into the paint and did not settle at the bottom of the paint tray.
