FAQs
What surfaces can this paint be used on?
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings.
How many coats of paint do I need?
Coverage can vary, but it offers excellent opacity and often requires fewer coats than standard emulsions, typically 1-2 coats depending on the surface and existing color.
What is the drying time for this paint?
The paint typically dries in 2-4 hours, but recoating may require longer depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While it can be used on ceilings in bathrooms, it is not ideal for walls in high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens due to its flat matt finish. Consider a vinyl silk or vinyl soft sheen finish for those areas.
How do I clean my paint brushes after use?
Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with warm water and detergent.
Is this paint returnable?
No, this product is mixed to order and therefore cannot be returned or refunded.
What is the finish of this paint?
The paint provides a flat matt finish, which helps to disguise imperfections on the surface.
Troubleshooting
Paint not covering effectively
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and not porous. Stir paint thoroughly and apply in even coats. Consider applying a primer if painting over very dark or stained surfaces.
Uneven or patchy finish
Avoid applying too thickly or unevenly. Ensure consistent application technique with brush or roller. Check for drips and 'holidays' (missed spots) during application. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Brush marks or roller marks visible
Use a good quality brush or roller designed for emulsion paints. Apply paint in a consistent direction. Avoid overworking the paint; apply in smooth, even strokes.
Paint peeling or flaking
This usually indicates poor surface preparation or application over a weak substrate. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and sound before painting. Remove any loose paint, sand the area, and reapply primer if necessary.

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 and sand smooth. If painting over a glossy surface, lightly abrade it to improve adhesion.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray gun. For best results, apply in thin, even coats. Apply the first coat and allow it to dry completely (typically 2-4 hours, depending on conditions) before applying a second coat if necessary. Avoid painting in very cold, damp, or humid conditions, or in direct sunlight.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Not recommended for use in high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens unless specifically protected with a suitable primer and topcoat.
Care: Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with warm water and detergent. Wipe away any spills or drips from surrounding surfaces before they dry. For general cleaning of painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, which can damage the matt finish.
