FAQs
Can I apply this paint over existing wall colors?
Yes, but you should use a high-quality white primer first to ensure the green paint covers evenly and retains its intended vibrancy.
How many square meters does 1L cover?
Coverage depends on the porosity of the wall, but typically 1L covers approximately 8-10 square meters per coat.
Is this paint safe for home use?
Yes, it is a water-based, indoor-safe formula that is suitable for use in homes, studios, and classrooms.
Do I need special lighting for this green screen?
For best results, you need even, shadow-free lighting. Using softboxes to illuminate the wall separately from the subject is highly recommended.
Can I remove the paint if I change my mind?
MagPaint is a permanent wall finish. To remove it, you would need to sand the surface and prime/paint over it, similar to any other standard wall paint.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or 'patchy' look
Ensure you are using a short-haired roller and applying even pressure; a second coat usually corrects minor inconsistencies.
Difficulties keying in post-production
Check your lighting; ensure the wall is evenly lit with no harsh hotspots or dark corners.
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the underlying surface was properly cleaned and primed before the initial application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Surface Prep: Ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and primed. For best results, use a white primer to ensure the vibrant green color is not dulled by a dark undercoat.
- Application: Use a high-quality, short-haired roller to apply the paint. This helps maintain a smooth, texture-free surface which is critical for clean keying.
- Layers: Apply two coats for optimal coverage. Allow adequate drying time between coats as recommended on the container.
- Maintenance: Keep the surface free of dust and debris by gently wiping with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the matt finish.
- Storage: Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
