Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Verify that the correct primer was used for the substrate (e.g., metal primer for metal).

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly using a good quality brush, working in long, consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting during application.

Paint appears too thin or lacks opacity.

Apply a second coat after the first coat has dried sufficiently. Ensure you are applying the paint to a properly primed surface. Stir the paint well to ensure all pigment is incorporated.

Surface imperfections are highly visible.

Thoroughly prepare the surface before painting by filling any holes, sanding smooth, and cleaning away all dust. A high gloss finish accentuates surface texture.
