FAQs

Can I use this for small craft projects?

While intended for testing, the high-quality emulsion can be used for small decorative craft projects.

How many coats should I apply for a test patch?

Two coats are recommended to get an accurate representation of the final colour and finish.

Will the colour look the same on all surfaces?

Textured surfaces may cause slight variations in light reflection, so testing on a similar surface to your walls is ideal.

Do I need a primer for the test patch?

If you are painting over a very dark or highly porous surface, a small amount of primer will help achieve the truest colour.

Is this paint water-based?

Yes, the 1829 Chalky Emulsion is a water-based product, making clean-up simple with soap and water.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky upon application

Ensure the surface is properly primed or that the previous layer is fully dry. Stir the tester pot thoroughly before use.

Colour looks different than expected

Observe the patch over a 24-hour period; natural light significantly changes the appearance of ochre tones.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows for accurate colour testing in your specific home lighting
  • High-quality, luxurious chalky emulsion finish
  • Compact and easy to store or transport
  • Helps prevent costly mistakes on large-scale paint projects

Cons

  • Small 50ml size is only suitable for small patches
  • Requires proper surface preparation for accurate results
  • Limited availability for covering large areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. Stir the tester pot well before opening to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Use a high-quality brush for application to ensure an even coat that displays the true finish. Once the testing is complete, sand down the test patch area lightly before applying your final paint choice to ensure a smooth transition. Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the paint from drying out.
