FAQs
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While it can be used in low-moisture areas, it is generally recommended to use a dedicated bathroom paint for rooms with high humidity to prevent condensation-related issues.
How long does it take to dry?
It is typically touch dry within 1-2 hours, but you should wait 2-4 hours before applying a second coat depending on environmental conditions.
Can I return the paint if the color is not what I expected?
No, because this product is mixed to order, it is non-returnable. We recommend testing a small sample before committing to a larger quantity.
Do I need a primer?
On previously painted walls in good condition, a primer is often not required. However, for porous or bare surfaces, a primer or mist coat is essential.
What is the best way to clean surfaces painted with this finish?
Use a damp, soft cloth to gently dab marks. Avoid heavy scrubbing, as the matt finish can be sensitive to abrasion.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks or streaks
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and do not over-work the paint while it is drying.
Paint is not covering in one coat
While high-opacity, some surfaces require two coats for a uniform finish. Ensure you are applying the recommended spread rate.
Paint is peeling or flaking
This is usually caused by inadequate surface preparation. Sand the area, remove all dust, and apply a suitable primer before repainting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. Fill any holes or cracks with a suitable filler and sand smooth.
Priming: For new or bare surfaces, apply a mist coat (a diluted coat of the paint) or a dedicated primer to seal the substrate.
Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply using a high-quality brush or roller. Avoid over-spreading the paint to maintain the intended opacity.
Equipment Cleaning: Immediately wash brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water after use to prevent paint hardening.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out or skinning.
