Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Remove any old, peeling paint or finishes. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuff can improve adhesion, though not strictly required.
Paint looks streaky or uneven
Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply thin, even coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats. If using a brush, use smooth, consistent strokes.
Matte finish is too dull
Ensure the paint is fully dry. Apply a coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax to enhance the sheen and depth of the colour. For a higher sheen, apply a second coat of wax.
Surface feels rough after drying
This can happen if the paint is applied too thickly or if the surface was not smooth to begin with. Once dry and sealed with wax, light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper can smooth it out, or apply another thin coat of paint if needed.
