FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathroom walls?

Yes, it is durable and washable, making it suitable for bathrooms, though it should not be applied in areas with direct water contact.

Do I need a primer for this paint?

While it can be used directly on many surfaces, a primer is recommended for bare wood or metal to ensure optimal adhesion.

Can I use this on metal radiators?

Yes, as long as the radiator is cool during application and the surface has been properly prepared and primed.

How long does it take to dry?

It is quick-drying, though specific times can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.

Can this be cleaned with household cleaners?

A damp cloth with mild soap is generally sufficient for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.

What is the VOC level?

The paint features a low-VOC formulation to reduce odors and environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and lightly sanded prior to application.

Visible brush marks in the finish

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to dry.

The finish looks patchy

Ensure the surface is properly primed and apply a second coat once the first is completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before painting. For raw or porous wood, use a suitable primer to seal the surface. If painting over existing gloss surfaces, lightly sand the area to improve adhesion. Apply the paint using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller for even coverage.

Once finished, allow the paint to cure fully before attempting to wash the surface. For routine maintenance, use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away dust. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the product from skinning or drying out.
