FAQs

What is the finish of this paint?

This is a Vinyl Matt paint, offering a flat, non-reflective finish that helps to hide surface imperfections.

Can this paint be used on wood or metal?

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. For wood or metal surfaces, a different type of primer and finish would be recommended.

How much area does a 5L can cover?

Coverage can vary based on surface porosity and application thickness, but typically a 5L can will cover approximately 10-15 square meters per liter, meaning around 50-75 square meters in total for a single coat.

Is this paint washable?

While it can be wiped with a damp cloth for light marks, it is a matt finish and not designed for heavy scrubbing or frequent washing like a silk or satin paint.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No, this product is mixed to order and cannot be returned or refunded. Please ensure you have selected the correct color and quantity before purchasing.

How should I prepare my walls before painting?

Walls should be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Fill any holes or cracks, and prime if necessary, especially on new or previously unpainted surfaces.

What is the drying time for this paint?

The paint is touch dry in 1-2 hours and recoatable in 2-4 hours, though this can vary depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before use. Apply in thin, even coats, avoiding overworking the paint in one area. Ensure a consistent application technique with your brush or roller.

Paint is not covering the previous color adequately.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Apply a second coat as recommended. For very dark or vibrant colors underneath, a mist coat of diluted paint or a specific high-opacity primer may be beneficial.

Brush marks or roller marks are visible.

Use a good quality brush or roller. Apply paint in a consistent direction (e.g., 'W' or 'M' pattern with a roller, then a single smooth stroke to finish). Avoid applying too much pressure. Ensure the paint is applied to a uniformly prepared surface.

Paint is taking too long to dry.

Ensure application is within recommended temperature and humidity ranges (typically 10-25°C). Avoid applying paint in very damp or cold conditions. Ensure coats are not applied too thickly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent coverage, potentially reducing the number of coats needed.
  • The flat matt finish helps to camouflage imperfections on surfaces.
  • Easy to apply with minimal splatter or mess.
  • Dries quickly, allowing for efficient project completion.
  • Suitable for both walls and ceilings in interior spaces.

Cons

  • Mixed to order, meaning it cannot be returned or refunded.
  • As a matt finish, it may be less durable against heavy scrubbing compared to silk or satin paints.
  • Specific color shade is a light white ('Chiltern White'); not suitable if a different shade is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

Before applying, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and allow to dry. For best results on new or unpainted surfaces, apply a suitable primer.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller. For optimal coverage, apply a second coat if necessary after the first coat has dried. Allow approximately 2-4 hours drying time between coats, depending on temperature and humidity.

Compatibility:

This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard interior surface preparation materials and primer types.

Care:

Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use. For cleaning walls after the paint has fully cured (allow at least 7 days), use a soft cloth dampened with water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the matt finish.
