Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded if it is glossy. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying additional coats. Check for contamination from wax or silicone-based cleaning products. If the paint is old, it might have lost some of its properties.
Uneven finish or brush marks.
Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Avoid over-brushing. Use a high-quality brush or roller. If spraying, ensure the spray gun is set up correctly and the paint is properly diluted. Adjust the pressure and flow rate for optimal results.
Paint is peeling.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Remove any loose paint. Consider applying a primer if the surface is particularly difficult to adhere to. Make sure there is no wax or grease contamination on the surface. Check that the environmental conditions are suitable and avoid painting in extreme temperatures.
