Troubleshooting

Paint is not drying within the expected time.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Avoid applying the paint too thickly, as this can extend drying times. Check environmental conditions, as very high humidity or low temperatures can affect drying.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints. Apply paint evenly with consistent strokes. For roller marks, use a light touch and maintain a wet edge.

Poor adhesion or peeling.

Surface preparation is key. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application. Use a suitable primer on bare or porous surfaces, especially wood and metal. Check if the previous surface finish was compatible.

Scrubbing removes paint color.

While scrubbable, excessive force with abrasive materials can still affect the finish. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water for cleaning. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.

Compatibility: This water-based paint is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, and primed wood and metal. It is not recommended for exterior use or for surfaces that are constantly wet or submerged.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for best coverage and finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer instructions.

Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For cleaning painted surfaces, use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish.
