FAQs
Can I use this paint on furniture?
Yes, it is suitable for wood surfaces, though you should ensure the furniture is properly primed for best results.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?
While it is a durable emulsion, it is not specifically marketed as a bathroom-grade anti-mold paint, so use caution in high-humidity areas.
Does it require a primer?
On bare, porous surfaces, a mist coat or primer is recommended to ensure even coverage.
How many coats should I apply?
Typically, two coats are sufficient for full coverage, depending on the underlying color and surface porosity.
What is the drying time between coats?
As a quick-drying paint, it is usually ready for a second coat within a few hours; check the tin for exact temperature-dependent timings.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering to metal surfaces
Ensure the metal surface has been properly cleaned and lightly sanded to provide a mechanical key before application.
Uneven or streaky finish
Check your application technique to ensure you are not over-brushing; allow the paint to self-level and ensure you have applied sufficient volume per square meter.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Sophisticated, modern light grey color palette
- Water-based formula ensures easier cleanup
- Fast-drying properties for efficient workflow
Cons
- Not compatible with oil-filled radiators

- Matt finish can be more susceptible to scuffs in high-traffic areas compared to silk or gloss
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For best results, use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for water-based emulsions. Compatibility extends across most interior walls, ceilings, and primed wood or metal. Avoid using this paint on oil-filled radiators as the formulation cannot withstand the specific heat cycles and metal composition of these devices. To maintain the finish, wipe down walls with a damp, non-abrasive cloth; avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent burnishing the matt sheen.
