Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Yellow is an ideal choice for interior designers and homeowners seeking a sophisticated, flat matt finish for walls and ceilings. This premium paint offers a smooth application and excellent coverage while being formulated with low VOCs for better indoor air quality; however, users should note that the chalky, porous nature of the finish may require more careful cleaning than traditional high-sheen acrylics.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this paint be used in bathrooms or kitchens?

It is generally not recommended for high-moisture areas as the chalky, matte finish is not formulated to resist steam or frequent condensation.

Does this paint require a primer?

If you are painting over new plaster or a previously dark/contrasting color, a primer is highly recommended for best results.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is usually touch dry within 1-2 hours, but we recommend waiting at least 4 hours before applying a second coat.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

This product is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings and may not provide the necessary adhesion or durability for wood or metal surfaces.

How should I store leftover paint?

Seal the tin tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.

Uneven finish or 'flashing'

This is often caused by uneven surface porosity; apply a high-quality primer-sealer to the surface before re-coating.

Paint rubbing off during cleaning

The chalky finish is delicate by design; avoid scrubbing and use only light, dabbing motions with a damp microfiber cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, non-reflective matte appearance
  • Low VOC formula reduces indoor fumes
  • Excellent opacity and smooth coverage
  • Perfect for achieving a historical or heritage aesthetic

Cons

  • Chalky finish can be more susceptible to scuffs
  • Less scrubbable than high-gloss or satin finishes
  • Requires careful preparation for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over porous surfaces like fresh plaster, use a suitable primer to prevent uneven suction. Apply using a medium-pile microfiber roller for walls and a high-quality synthetic brush for trim and edges. Between coats, keep your equipment wrapped in plastic to prevent drying. Once fully cured, treat the walls gently; if cleaning is necessary, use a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could burnish the matte finish.
