Do I need an undercoat?

How should I store the paint?

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a key for the paint.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Ensure you are using the correct application method (brush or roller). Apply the paint evenly, avoiding excessive build-up. Allow the paint to self-level, and avoid over-brushing.

Colour not consistent.

Purchase sufficient tinted paint from the same source for each job to ensure colour consistency. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Slow drying time.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as these can affect drying times. Avoid applying too thick a coat.
