Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Check if the correct primer was used for the surface material.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Stir paint thoroughly before and during application. Use a good quality brush and apply in smooth, even strokes. Ensure consistent application technique.

Colour appears different than expected

Colours can vary depending on lighting conditions and surrounding colours. Test a small area in the intended space to confirm the desired look.
