Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply even coats and avoid overbrushing or rolling. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

Color is not as expected.

Ensure you are using the correct color (Vert De Terre). The color can appear different depending on the lighting; test a small area first.

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint is showing marks easily.

Estate Emulsion is a matte finish and therefore, more prone to showing marks. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Consider using a different finish like Modern Emulsion for higher-traffic areas.
