FAQs

How much area will 7.5L of paint cover?

Coverage can vary based on the surface texture and application method. Generally, 7.5L will cover a significant area, typically around 70-80 square meters in a single coat.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it can be used in bathrooms, ensure adequate ventilation to prevent moisture build-up and potential mildew. Consider a paint specifically designed for bathrooms for maximum moisture resistance.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying time typically ranges from 2-4 hours, but this can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Recoat time is usually 4-6 hours.

Do I need to prime before painting?

Priming is recommended for unpainted surfaces, surfaces with stains, or when changing colors significantly. It helps with adhesion and coverage.

How do I clean my paintbrushes and rollers?

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Allow them to dry completely before storing.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

This paint has a matt finish, which means it has a non-reflective, flat appearance.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings only. It is not suitable for exterior applications.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering the surface evenly.

Ensure thorough stirring of the paint. Apply a second coat if necessary, allowing the first coat to dry completely.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Make sure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and free from loose paint. Consider sanding the surface and applying a primer.

Paint has a patchy appearance.

Ensure even application and avoid applying too much or too little paint. Maintain a wet edge during application and avoid applying in direct sunlight or drafty conditions.

The paint smells strongly.

Ensure adequate ventilation during and after painting. The odor should dissipate as the paint dries.
