FAQs

How much area does one 75ml tester pot cover?

The tester is designed for a sample area of approximately 30cm by 30cm.

Can this be used on ceilings?

Yes, this formula is specifically suitable for both walls and ceilings.

Is this paint permanent?

Yes, it is a high-quality emulsion paint that will form a durable, permanent finish on your wall.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, though exact times depend on ambient room temperature and humidity.

Do I need to sand the wall before using the tester?

It is not strictly necessary for a small test patch, but removing loose debris or dust will provide the most accurate colour reflection.

Is this the same formula as the 2.5L cans?

Yes, the tester pot contains the same quality emulsion formula as the larger standard sizes.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky upon initial application

Ensure the surface is properly primed or cleaned, and apply a second thin coat once the first is dry.

Colour looks different than expected on the wall

Wait for the paint to fully cure and dry completely, as the tone may shift from wet to dry state.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for verifying colour accuracy before purchasing larger volumes
  • Provides a sophisticated, non-reflective matte appearance
  • Easy to apply for both professionals and hobbyists
  • Effective at masking minor wall blemishes
  • Minimal waiting time due to rapid drying

Cons

  • Small 75ml volume is not suitable for full wall coverage
  • Requires careful preparation to see true colour accuracy
  • Limited to one specific shade per pot

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the most accurate colour test, start by cleaning the chosen wall section to remove dust or grease. Ensure the surface is dry before application. Since this is an emulsion-based paint, you can use standard brushes or small rollers. Once finished, ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the remaining paint from drying out if you wish to reference the shade again later. Store the pot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the chemical integrity of the pigment.
