FAQs
How much paint will I need?
Coverage depends on the surface and application method. Typically, 2.5L covers up to 30 square meters. Always calculate the area and consider applying two coats for the best results.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
While the paint is designed for interior use, it's best suited for areas with less moisture. For bathrooms and kitchens, consider a paint specifically designed for those environments.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint typically dries to touch within 2-4 hours. Allow 4-6 hours between coats. Full cure time is usually 24 hours.
What kind of roller or brush should I use?
Use a high-quality roller or brush suitable for emulsion paints. A short-pile roller is generally recommended for a smooth finish.
How do I store leftover paint?
Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is securely closed to prevent the paint from drying out.
Can I apply this paint over wallpaper?
It is generally not recommended to paint directly over wallpaper. The wallpaper may not provide a suitable surface and could cause the paint to peel. Remove the wallpaper first, and prepare the underlying surface.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks
Ensure even paint application. Use a good quality roller or brush, and avoid overspreading the paint. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
Paint not adhering properly
Make sure the surface is clean and properly prepared. Priming may be required, especially on glossy surfaces.
Colour not matching expected shade
Allow paint to fully dry to see the final colour. Lighting conditions can affect the perceived colour. Test in a small area first.
