Troubleshooting

Paint not covering well

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply a second coat of undercoat for improved coverage and color uniformity.

Slow drying time

Ensure proper ventilation and avoid applying the undercoat in excessively humid conditions.

Brush marks visible after application

Use a high-quality brush or roller and apply the undercoat evenly. Avoid over-brushing.

Paint not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly primed. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Runny undercoat

Ensure you have stirred the contents well. If the paint is too thin it may be due to over-dilution. Only add white spirit if necessary, and in small quantities.
