Troubleshooting Guide for Brush-Top Bottle Paint Application

Color Doesn’t Match

• The bottle was not shaken long enough.

Try another bottle (shake well). The paint must be properly mixed to achieve the proper color and gloss.

• Your production color may have changed.

Sometimes there is a color shift in the coatings you are touching up. You must submit another color standard to Custom Finishes for color matching if this occurs.

Color seems Flat or Hazy

• Humid conditions may exist.

Try again under less humid conditions.

• The surface you are touching up is too hot.

Remove the object from direct sunlight or heat; allow surface to cool and continue.

Surface seems to have Streaks

• The thickness of the paint film is uneven.

Apply an additional coat of paint and try to get it as smooth and uniform as possible.

Can’t Achieve Proper Gloss

• The paint is not glossy enough.

Apply a few more coats of paint.

Paint is too Glossy

• Apply a thinner film.

Paint has Sags or Runs

• Too much paint was applied.

Apply lighter coats by increasing the speed of the passes as you apply the paint.

• The temperature of the paint or surface may be too low. Allow paint and surface to warm up to room temperature.
