Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply a second coat, using even strokes and avoiding excessive pressure on the roller or brush.

Paint does not cover the surface adequately.

Ensure the existing surface is primed. Apply a second coat. Using a different application method (roller or brush) might also help.

Paint is taking too long to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Check the room temperature and humidity levels, as these can affect drying time.
