This 80ml tester pot of GoodHome Matt Bantry is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to test paint colours in their own space before committing to a larger purchase. Its key benefit is allowing for accurate colour sampling under various lighting conditions. A potential caveat is the small volume, which is suitable for testing only, not for large projects. This product provides a convenient way to preview the finish and hue of Bantry Matt paint, ensuring it complements your existing decor.

The 80ml pot is designed for testing purposes only. It can cover a small swatch of approximately 0.5 square meters (around 5-6 square feet) with a single coat, depending on the surface absorbency.
For very small items, like a picture frame or a small stool, it might be sufficient. However, for larger furniture pieces, the 80ml volume will likely be insufficient for multiple coats or even one full coat.
Typically, the paint will be touch-dry within 1-2 hours. Recoating is usually possible after 4 hours, but drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and application thickness.
This tester pot features a matt finish, which is a non-reflective, smooth appearance that helps to hide imperfections on the wall.
It is not recommended to mix this tester pot with other paints, as it may alter the colour and finish. It is intended for testing the specific 'Bantry Matt' colour.
Seal the lid tightly and store the pot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure it is stored upright to prevent leaks.
Ensure the paint was applied in a thin, even coat. Avoid applying in very humid or cold conditions. Check for dust or debris on the surface before application.
Colours can appear different under various lighting conditions and on different surfaces. Allow the paint to dry completely before judging. Test in multiple locations and lighting types.
Gently run warm water around the lid edge to soften any dried paint. Use a cloth to get a better grip and twist firmly.
Setup: This product requires no setup beyond opening the pot. Ensure the surface you intend to test on is clean and dry. Apply a small, even coat of paint using a clean brush or mini-roller. Allow the paint to dry completely to see the true colour and finish.
Compatibility: This tester pot is for colour sampling and is compatible with most interior paint application tools. It is intended for testing on drywall, plaster, or previously painted surfaces. Ensure compatibility with existing finishes if painting over them directly.
Care: Store the tester pot with the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Unused paint can be kept for future touch-ups or further testing, though colour consistency may degrade over time. Dispose of any dried residue responsibly according to local regulations.
