FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is suitable for all normal interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted areas.

How many coats of paint are usually needed?

Due to its high opacity and coverage, two coats are typically recommended for a professional finish, though this can vary depending on the original surface color and condition.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

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

How do I clean my brushes and rollers after use?

Clean your brushes and rollers immediately after use with water.

What is the drying time for this paint?

The paint dries quickly, allowing for recoating usually within a few hours. Check the product can for specific drying times under your conditions.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While suitable for general interior use, for areas with high moisture or frequent cleaning, a vinyl silk or vinyl soft sheen finish might offer greater durability and washability.

How should I prepare the surface before painting?

The surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Fill any imperfections and prime if necessary, especially on new or unpainted surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or difficult to apply

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a small amount of clean water (up to 5%) can be added, but avoid over-thinning which can affect coverage and finish.

Uneven finish or roller marks visible

Ensure paint is applied evenly and maintain a 'wet edge' to avoid lap marks. Apply the second coat perpendicular to the first if necessary, or use a consistent rolling technique.

Poor coverage over dark colors

While the paint has high opacity, very dark or vibrant colors may require an additional coat or a coat of primer specifically designed for color change before applying the topcoat.

Paint peeling or flaking after drying

This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and sound before painting. If problems persist, the surface may need to be stripped back and re-prepared.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent coverage reduces paint consumption and application time.
  • High opacity provides good results even over dark or uneven surfaces.
  • Matt finish effectively hides minor wall imperfections.
  • Easy to apply with good flow, suitable for various skill levels.
  • Quick drying time minimizes disruption.

Cons

  • Mixed to order, therefore non-returnable or refundable.
  • Vinyl matt finish may not be as durable as silk or satin finishes in high-traffic or high-moisture areas.
  • Requires appropriate surface preparation for optimal results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound. Unpainted surfaces may require a primer.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on all normal interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously decorated surfaces.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. Wipe clean any accidental spills or marks on surrounding surfaces promptly with a damp cloth. Surfaces painted with this product should not be scrubbed aggressively.
