Troubleshooting
Paint not spraying smoothly
Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed with the correct amount of thinner. Check the spray gun nozzle for blockages and adjust air pressure as needed.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Verify that the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and dry before application. Ensure there was no contamination during the drying process. Re-apply after thorough surface preparation.
Uneven or streaky finish
Apply paint in thin, even coats, maintaining a consistent distance from the surface. Adjust spray gun technique for uniform coverage.
Paint drying too slowly
Ensure application is within the recommended temperature range (around 20°C). High humidity or lower temperatures can extend drying times.
