FAQs

What type of finish does this paint provide?

This paint provides a durable matt finish.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, this is a multi-surface paint suitable for wood, so it can be used on furniture after proper preparation.

How do I clean my painted surfaces?

Clean the painted surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.

What is the coverage of a 2.5L tin?

The paint offers incredible coverage, but specific coverage rates per square meter will depend on the surface porosity and application method. Refer to the product tin for detailed estimates.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While durable, this is a standard matt emulsion. For very high-moisture or high-traffic areas prone to frequent cleaning, a specific kitchen and bathroom paint might be more suitable, although this paint can be used if cleaned with care.

Can I paint over existing oil-based paint?

Yes, provided the oil-based surface is cleaned, degreased, and lightly sanded to create a key for the emulsion to adhere to.

How long does the paint take to dry?

This is a water-based and quick-drying formula. Specific drying times between coats and for recoating will be detailed on the product packaging.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. If painting over a glossy surface, it may need to be lightly sanded.

Uneven color finish

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application and that an adequate number of coats were applied. Avoid applying paint in excessively cold or humid conditions.

Brush marks visible

Use a good quality brush and apply paint with smooth, even strokes. Consider using a roller for larger areas. Ensure paint is not applied too thickly.

Paint drying too quickly

If painting in warm conditions, try painting in smaller sections or consider using a paint additive designed to extend drying time (check product compatibility).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint before application. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility: This multi-surface emulsion is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wood, and metal. It is not suitable for use on oil-filled radiators. It is designed to coordinate with the Joules Easy to Hang Wallpaper Collection.
