Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering the surface evenly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply a second coat, allowing the first coat to dry completely. Use a quality brush or roller and apply paint evenly, avoiding excessive pressure.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of loose paint. Scrape away any loose paint, sand the surface, and apply a primer before repainting.

Paint is taking too long to dry.

Ensure proper ventilation. The drying time can be affected by humidity and temperature; allow for longer drying times in humid conditions.

Colour appears different after drying.

Ensure the paint is fully dry. The final colour can be affected by the existing wall colour and lighting conditions. Apply a second coat and check the colour in different lighting situations.
