Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and sanded) before painting. Apply a suitable primer if necessary.

Paint is drying too quickly, leading to brush marks.

Work in smaller sections, and avoid applying the paint in direct sunlight or high temperatures. Use a high-quality brush for a smoother finish.

Poor coverage after the first coat.

Apply a second coat of paint. Ensure the paint is applied evenly.

Paint has a glossy finish.

Ensure that you are using the correct gloss product and not a matt or satin finish by mistake. Also, check that the paint has fully dried.

Setup

Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, rust, or grease. Sand the surface lightly to create a key for the paint to adhere to.
