Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and lightly sanded. Apply a primer if necessary. Allow for the correct drying time.
The finish is not smooth.
Ensure you are using the correct application technique (brush or roller). Apply thin, even coats, and avoid over-brushing. Make sure the roller or brush is of good quality.
