FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

This paint is designed for dry interior rooms; it is not recommended for high-humidity areas like kitchens or bathrooms.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within 1-2 hours depending on room temperature and humidity.

Can I use this on furniture?

While intended for walls, it can be used on decorative furniture, provided the wood is properly primed and sanded.

What is the finish like?

It features an ultra-matt finish, which is non-reflective and offers a soft, chalky texture.

Is it safe to use in a child's bedroom?

Yes, its low VOC formula makes it suitable for use in living areas, including bedrooms.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using the correct pile length for your roller and maintain a 'wet edge' by not over-spreading the paint.

Uneven colour intensity

Apply a second coat once the first is fully dry; ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly before use to distribute pigments evenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated ultra-matt aesthetic
  • Environmentally conscious low VOC formulation
  • Fast drying time for efficient project turnaround
  • Excellent opacity and smooth coverage

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-moisture exterior environments
  • Requires careful preparation for best finish
  • Matte surfaces can be prone to scuffing in high-traffic hallways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application. If you are painting over a dark colour or porous surface, use a high-quality primer to ensure the best colour pay-off. Use a quality synthetic brush for cutting in and a medium-pile roller for larger wall areas to achieve the signature smooth finish. After painting, avoid heavy scrubbing; if a spot needs cleaning, gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to preserve the integrity of the matte pigments.
