Troubleshooting

Paint appears chalky or textured.

Thin the paint more before application and apply in thinner coats. Ensure the primer is smooth.

Paint doesn't cover well.

Apply multiple thin coats instead of one thick coat. Ensure the primer is a similar color to the base paint.

Paint is too thick and clogs details.

Thin the paint with water or a paint thinner. Avoid overloading your brush.

Paint dries too quickly on the palette.

Use a wet palette to keep the paint moist for longer.
