Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Ensure the nozzle is clear. If clogged, remove and clean with a solvent or use a new nozzle. Shake the can more frequently during use.
Paint not adhering well
Verify the surface was properly cleaned and prepared (degreased, de-rusted, lightly sanded). Ensure the correct type of primer was used if necessary.
Runs or drips in the finish
Apply paint in lighter, more even coats. Ensure the can is held at the recommended distance from the surface. Avoid applying too much paint in one go.
Poor coverage
Apply additional thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Ensure the can was shaken sufficiently to mix the pigment thoroughly.
