Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Re-sand and clean the surface, then reapply.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred and applied evenly. Use a good quality brush or roller and avoid overloading it. Apply in thin, even coats.
Paint not drying
Check environmental conditions; drying times are longer in cold or humid weather. Ensure adequate ventilation. If applied too thickly, it may take longer to cure.
Gloss finish is dull
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that no contaminants affected the finish. Ensure adequate ventilation during drying and avoid applying in dusty conditions.
