Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (cleaned, dry, free from contaminants) and a suitable primer was used if necessary. Surface temperature should be above 5°C.
Uneven or streaky finish
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Ensure even brush strokes and avoid over-brushing. Apply in thin, even coats.
