What preparation is needed before painting?

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply a second coat, allowing sufficient drying time between coats. Use consistent pressure and technique when applying the paint.

Paint does not cover the surface adequately.

Ensure you have applied two coats of paint. The existing color of the wall may require more than two coats. Ensure even coverage and allow proper drying time between coats. Check that you are using the correct application tools, and not applying the paint too thinly.

Paint is not adhering properly and is flaking or peeling.

Make sure the surface is clean and primed correctly. Ensure the paint is applied in the correct conditions and temperature.

The colour is different from what was expected.

Always test the color in a small, inconspicuous area before painting the entire surface. Lighting conditions can affect the perceived color; consider the effects of natural and artificial light.

  7. Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. Ensure it is not used on exterior surfaces or surfaces not suitable for emulsion paint.
