Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and lightly sanded). Apply a primer if necessary and allow proper drying time before applying the paint.

Paint finish is uneven or streaky.

Apply thinner, even coats. Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. If spraying, ensure the spray nozzle is clean and the paint is properly diluted.

Paint is bubbling or peeling.

Ensure the surface is completely dry before painting. Scrape off any loose paint and re-sand the surface. Apply the paint in thin layers.

Color is not as expected.

Ensure the paint is fully mixed. Apply two coats for the true color to show. Allow the paint to dry completely to see the final color.
