FAQs

Can this paint be used on wood or metal?

This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for use on bare wood or metal surfaces without appropriate priming.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on conditions, but typically touch dry in 1-2 hours and recoatable in 2-4 hours.

What is the coverage rate per litre?

The paint offers excellent coverage, typically around 10-12 square meters per litre, but this can vary depending on the surface texture and application method.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No, this product is mixed to order and cannot be returned or refunded.

How should I prepare a previously gloss-painted surface?

Previously gloss-painted surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and then lightly sanded to provide a key for the new paint to adhere to. A suitable primer may also be beneficial.

What is the warranty period for this paint?

The paint comes with a 6-month guarantee.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While suitable for general interior walls, for areas with high humidity or frequent cleaning needs like bathrooms and kitchens, a vinyl silk or kitchen & bathroom specific paint might offer better durability and washability.

Troubleshooting

Paint is streaky or uneven.

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before application. Apply using even strokes with a good quality roller or brush. Check that the surface was properly prepared and is not overly porous.

Paint is not covering in one coat.

While designed for good coverage, heavily contrasting colors or porous surfaces may require a second coat. Ensure you are applying a sufficient amount of paint.

The finish appears slightly shiny.

This can happen if too much paint is applied or if it is applied too heavily. Ensure even application and avoid overworking the paint. The flat matt finish is intended to be non-reflective.

Difficulty cleaning tools.

Clean tools immediately after use with water. If the paint has started to dry, it will be much harder to remove.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Treat any mold, damp or algal issues before painting. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and allow to dry. Lightly sand surfaces if necessary for optimal adhesion.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush, roller, or spray. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Avoid applying in very cold, damp, or humid conditions.

Compatibility:

Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Ensure compatibility with any existing paint finishes by testing in an inconspicuous area.

Care:

Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with water. For cleaning the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish.
