Troubleshooting
Uneven Finish or Patchiness
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, primed if needed, and smooth. Stir the paint well before and during application. Apply paint evenly, avoiding excessively thick or thin patches, and ensure consistent pressure with your roller or brush.
Paint Not Drying Properly
Check the room temperature and humidity; paint dries best in moderate conditions. Ensure previous coats were fully dry before applying the next. Avoid applying very thick coats, as this can extend drying time significantly.
Poor Coverage
Ensure the surface was adequately prepared and primed, especially if painting over a darker colour or porous material. Use a good quality roller or brush appropriate for matt paint. Apply the recommended number of coats, allowing proper drying time between each. You might need an additional coat for full opacity.
Roller or Brush Marks Visible
Use a high-quality brush or roller. Avoid overloading the tool with paint. Apply paint in even strokes and try to maintain a 'wet edge' by working quickly and systematically across sections to blend areas seamlessly.
Paint Peeling or Flaking
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of loose paint or debris before application. Sanding glossy surfaces or using a primer on chalky surfaces helps with adhesion.
