Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and dried before application. Re-clean the surface and consider using a suitable primer if necessary.

Uneven or patchy finish

Check for consistent application thickness. Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before use. Apply a second coat if needed, ensuring even coverage.

Paint remains tacky after application

This could be due to insufficient ventilation, low temperatures, or applying too thick a coat. Improve ventilation, ensure temperature is within the recommended range, and allow more drying time. Consider applying a thinner second coat.

Satin finish appears too glossy or dull

The final sheen can be influenced by application thickness and environmental conditions. Ensure consistent application and drying conditions. Results may vary slightly between batches.
