Product Information

Full details

This GoodHome paint is designed for homeowners seeking a durable finish for high-traffic areas. Its key benefit is a tough, hard-wearing formulation offering excellent coverage, making it ideal for hallways, stairwells, and children's rooms. A potential caveat is its specific matt emulsion finish, which may not suit all aesthetic preferences or application types.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

While durable, this is a matt emulsion and not specifically formulated for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens where a silk or vinyl finish might be more appropriate.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Touch dry in approximately 1-2 hours, recoatable after 4 hours. Allow 24 hours for light use and 7 days for full hardness.

Can I use this paint on radiators?

Yes, this paint is suitable for metal surfaces, including radiators, provided they are properly prepared and primed.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage is excellent, but specific rates depend on the surface porosity and application method. As a general guide, aim for even coats.

How should I clean up my brushes and equipment?

Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water.

Is the 50ml size enough for a whole room?

The 50ml size is intended for touch-ups, small craft projects, or testing colors. It is not sufficient for painting an entire room.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge. Avoid over-brushing.

Paint not adhering well

Surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application.

Color appears different after drying

Drying conditions can affect color appearance. Ensure consistent application and allow the paint to fully cure before making final judgments. Note that the 50ml sample size may appear different in large quantities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces and prime if necessary. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls, wood, and metal. Not intended for ceilings that require a different type of finish or extremely high-moisture areas like shower enclosures.

Care: For best results, allow the paint to cure fully (typically 24 hours before light use, 7 days for full hardness). Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the finish.
