Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a *very* small amount of water (no more than 5%) can be added, but this may slightly affect coverage or finish. Ensure you are not painting in extreme temperatures.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure paint is adequately stirred. Apply in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.
Poor coverage / colour not opaque
This can happen over dark colours or very porous surfaces. Ensure two coats are applied as recommended. Check that the surface was properly prepared and that you are applying a consistent layer.
Paint is peeling or not adhering
The surface may not have been properly prepared (e.g., dusty, greasy, or glossy without sanding). Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and suitably prepared according to the instructions. Check for compatibility with previous coatings.
