How do I clean up after painting?

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and lightly sanded). Apply a suitable primer before painting.

Uneven finish or brush marks.

Apply thin, even coats and avoid over-brushing. Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for eggshell finishes.

Colour is not the same as expected.
