FAQs
What type of finish does this paint provide?
This paint provides a flat matt finish, which is ideal for hiding imperfections on walls and ceilings.

Can this paint be used on exterior surfaces?

Is this paint suitable for high-traffic areas?
While it offers a durable matt finish, it's a vinyl matt emulsion. For very high-traffic areas or surfaces prone to frequent wiping, a more durable finish like vinyl silk or acrylic eggshell might be considered.

Clean your brushes and other application tools immediately after use with water.

Low VOC means the paint emits fewer volatile organic compounds, contributing to better indoor air quality during and after application.
Can I return this paint if I change my mind about the colour?
No, this product is mixed to order and cannot be returned or refunded. Please choose your colour carefully.
What are the dimensions and weight of the 5L container?
The 5L container has dimensions of H:24 x W:19 x D:19 cm and weighs approximately 6.0 kg.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a small amount of clean water (less than 10% by volume) can be added, but avoid over-thinning as it may affect coverage and finish.
Uneven finish or brush/roller marks visible.
Ensure the paint is applied evenly and consistently. Avoid stopping and starting in the middle of a surface. Maintain a wet edge to blend strokes seamlessly. Apply a second coat if necessary.
Poor coverage, especially over dark colours.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Apply a second coat, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Consider using a mist coat of thinned paint for the first layer on drastic colour changes.
Product is not the expected colour.
Colours can appear differently depending on lighting and surrounding colours. Check the colour under different light conditions. Note that this product is mixed to order and cannot be returned due to colour preference.

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 allow to dry. Lightly sand surfaces for optimal adhesion.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush, roller, or spray. Apply evenly, avoiding overworking the paint. Usually, two coats are recommended for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility: This water-based vinyl matt emulsion is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard interior primers and surface preparation products.
Care: Clean application tools (brushes, rollers) immediately after use with water. For general maintenance, wipe the painted surface gently with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish.
