FAQs
Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?
While it can be used in dry areas, it is not recommended for high-humidity environments like bathrooms, as matt finishes are less moisture-resistant than dedicated kitchen/bathroom paints.
Can I use this on woodwork?
This product is formulated specifically for walls and ceilings. It is not intended for use on wood, metal, or high-traffic trim.
How many coats do I need?
Typically, two full coats provide the best coverage and color depth, though a third may be needed if painting over a significantly different color.
What is the drying time?
The paint is usually touch-dry within 1-2 hours, but it is best to wait at least 4 hours between coats for the best finish.
Can I wash the walls after painting?
Matt paint is delicate. You should wait at least 7-14 days for the paint to fully cure before attempting to gently wipe any marks with a barely damp cloth.
Does this require a primer?
If you are painting over new or bare plaster, a mist coat (thinned paint) or a dedicated primer is highly recommended to prevent patchy absorption.
Troubleshooting
Paint is showing 'flashing' or uneven sheen
Ensure the surface is properly primed and maintained at an even temperature during application. Avoid over-brushing sections as they start to dry.
Visible roller marks
Use a high-quality medium-pile roller and ensure you are keeping a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to level correctly.
Poor adhesion
Check that the surface was completely cleaned of dust, grease, or peeling old paint prior to application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose material. If painting over fresh plaster, ensure it is fully cured and apply a mist coat first. Application is straightforward using a brush for edges and a roller for larger areas. When cleaning up, simply wash your tools with warm soapy water immediately after use. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners; if cleaning is necessary, use a soft, damp cloth and wipe the area very gently to prevent burnishing the matt surface.
