Full details
The Craig & Rose Orange paint is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to inject a bold, vibrant aesthetic into their interior spaces. This premium-grade paint offers excellent opacity and a professional-grade finish that resists streaking, making it ideal for feature walls or accent pieces.

FAQs
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, this product is specifically formulated for interior applications only.
Do I need to sand the wall before painting?
Yes, lightly sanding the surface helps create an ideal 'key' for the paint to adhere to, resulting in a smoother finish.
How many coats are recommended?
We recommend two coats for the best color depth and an even, professional finish.
Can I use this on wood trim?
Yes, this paint is versatile enough to be used on interior woodwork, provided the surface is properly primed first.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is usually touch-dry within a few hours, but we recommend waiting at least 4-6 hours between coats for best results.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears patchy after one coat
Apply a second coat once the first is completely dry, or check if the underlying surface required a primer.
Paint is dragging during application
Ensure the roller or brush is properly saturated and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack.
Color does not look vibrant enough
Verify that a primer was used, especially if painting over a dark color, as this heavily affects final saturation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If the wall is currently dark or porous, applying a coat of high-quality white primer will ensure the orange pigment appears true to color. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are properly dispersed. For the best finish, apply at temperatures between 10C and 25C. Once the project is complete, clean brushes and rollers immediately with warm soapy water while the paint is still wet. Store the remaining paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out.
