FAQs

What surfaces can I use Berger Matt Emulsion on?

It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings made of plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces.

How many coats of paint do I need?

For best results, apply two coats, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.

How do I clean up after painting?

Clean brushes, rollers, and spills immediately with water.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While suitable for most rooms, it is best suited for rooms with less exposure to moisture and high wear areas.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times can vary, but generally, allow 2-4 hours for the paint to dry to the touch, and overnight for a full cure before applying a second coat.

Does this paint have a strong odor?

No, being water-based, it has a low odor.

How do I store leftover paint?

Store the paint in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is properly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patches after painting.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed and apply an even coat. Apply a second coat if needed, and avoid applying too much paint at once.

Paint not covering the surface adequately.

Apply a second coat after the first coat has dried completely. Ensure you have the correct coverage for the surface area.

Paint appears to be peeling or cracking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed if necessary. Avoid painting in extreme temperatures or high humidity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
  2. Priming: If painting over a previously painted surface or a surface prone to staining, apply a suitable primer first.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats for best results, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.
  4. Tools: Use a brush, roller, or sprayer. For a smooth finish, use a roller with a short pile for walls or ceilings.
  5. Compatibility: Compatible with most interior surfaces including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. Check the product label for specific compatibility details.
  6. Care: Clean up spills and splatters immediately with water. For cleaning the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
