Failure of dried paint to obscure or hide the underlying color or surface to which it is applied.

• Applying too thin of a paint film.
• Use of paint with low hiding characteristics.
• Use of a paint that is much lighter or darker than the previous coat.
• Use of the wrong type or nap size of roller cover. Use of the wrong type or size of brush.
• Painting over a porous surface that absorbs the coating.
• Poor flow and leveling.
• Thinning/reducing the coating.

• Follow label and data page directions for the appropriate film build.

• Prime the surface with a white primer, the appropriate P-Shade primer for the color, or a primer shaded towards the topcoat color.

• Determine the correct roller cover based on the coating being applied and the surface. On smooth surfaces, a mohair, 1/4", or 3/8" roller nap is usually sufficient. On textured surfaces, a 3/4" nap or greater is needed.

• Prime porous surfaces before topcoating.

• Allow proper drying time before recoating.
