Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering properly
Ensure the surface was adequately prepared (cleaned, dry, and possibly sanded) and that a suitable primer was used if necessary.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint with a good quality brush or roller, using long, even strokes. Ensure paint is stirred well and not applied too thickly. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Color appears different than expected
The satin finish can cause subtle shifts in tone under different lighting conditions. Consider painting a test patch in the intended area to observe its appearance throughout the day.
Paint is too thick or too thin
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water can be added for application, but avoid over-thinning, which can affect durability and finish.
