Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and lightly sanded if necessary) before application. Ensure the surface is free of any loose paint or debris.
Paint coverage is uneven.
Apply a second coat, ensuring even strokes and thorough coverage. Make sure the paint is stirred well before each use.
Paint is peeling.
Make sure the surface is properly prepared, remove any loose paint or debris, and apply a primer before painting.
Colour doesn't match the tester sachet.
