Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and primed before application. Lightly abrade glossy surfaces.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting during application.

Colour appears different than expected

Lighting conditions significantly affect colour perception. Ensure adequate light in the room. Apply a test patch if possible.

Paint seems too thick or difficult to spread

Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, thin slightly with water, but avoid over-thinning, which can compromise durability.
