The paint absorbs unevenly, resulting in spots and color variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before painting, be sure to treat the surface with a primer\u2014especially if it\u2019s concrete, brick, plaster, or wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Oscar Primer<\/em> \u2014 improves adhesion and reduces paint consumption.

\n\nMistake 2: Incorrect choice of paint for the surface type.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The paint doesn\u2019t adhere, peels off, and quickly loses its color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose the paint based on the material: for wood \u2014 enamel or stain; for facades \u2014 durable acrylic; for ceilings \u2014 matte water-based emulsion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Oscar facade emulsion<\/em> \u2014 resistant to moisture and sunlight
\u2705 Oscar Universal Enamel<\/em> \u2014 for wood and metal<\/p>\n\n
\n\nMistake 3: Ignoring application conditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The paint applies unevenly, bubbles, or runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work at temperatures between +10\u00b0C and +30\u00b0C. Do not apply paint in humid weather or drafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\nMistake 4: Using low-quality tools<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Brush marks, clumps, splatters. The paint applies unevenly and looks unattractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use rollers with the appropriate nap length, trays for even paint loading, and painter\u2019s tape for clean edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Oscar rollers (22\u201364 mm)<\/em> \u2014 for walls, ceilings, and facades
\u2705 Trays, brushes, protective films<\/em> \u2014 available in the OSCAR range
\u2705 OSCAR painter\u2019s tape<\/em> \u2014 prevents paint bleed and removes easily<\/p>\n\n
\n\nMistake 5: Neglecting drying time and the second coat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The color shifts, streaks appear, and cracks may form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apply the second coat only after the first one has fully dried \u2014 from 2 to 24 hours depending on the type of paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nWhat to remember<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Don 't skimp on tools
\u2705 Consider the conditions and the surface
\u2705 Use paints that are suitable for their intended purpose
\u2705 Follow the instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
