FAQs
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is generally not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms; a specialist moisture-resistant paint is preferred there.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, this product is specifically formulated for interior use only.
How many coats are usually required?
Typically, two full coats provide the best finish and opacity, though one coat may suffice over previously painted surfaces of a similar color.
Can I apply this over oil-based paint?
You should lightly sand the oil-based surface to provide a 'key' for the water-based paint to adhere to, or use a suitable primer first.
How long does it take to dry?
It is touch-dry in a few hours, but drying times vary based on room temperature and humidity levels.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or uneven
Ensure you are using the correct roller nap and applying enough paint; avoid over-spreading the paint.
Paint peeling after drying
This is often caused by poor surface preparation, such as painting over greasy or dusty walls. Clean the surface thoroughly before repainting.
Visible roller marks
Maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and do not work over areas that have already started to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose debris. If applying over fresh plaster, use a mist coat (a thinned layer of emulsion) first to prevent the surface from absorbing the paint too quickly.
- Preparation: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth before painting.
- Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or medium-pile roller.
- Cleaning: Wash all brushes and rollers in warm soapy water immediately after use to prevent paint from hardening.
- Storage: Store the tin in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly secured to prevent the paint from drying out.
