Troubleshooting

Paint is clumpy or dried in the bottle.

Add a few drops of water or acrylic thinner and stir well. If the paint is too dried out, it may need to be replaced.

Paint is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface has been properly primed. Lightly sand the surface for better adhesion if needed. Ensure the surface is free of oils or contaminants.

Brush strokes are visible.

Apply thinner coats and allow each layer to dry completely. Use a brush specifically designed for model painting.

Paint is too thick.

Thin the paint with water or acrylic thinner. Add a few drops at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
