Troubleshooting

Paint is running or dripping.

Ensure you are not applying too much paint at once. Apply thin, even coats, and allow each coat to dry before applying the next. If spraying, adjust the spray settings and dilution as needed.

Poor coverage or color inconsistency.

Paint not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and lightly sanded before painting. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Bubbles appearing in the paint.
