FAQs
Can this paint be used on wood or metal?
This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. For wood or metal surfaces, a different type of primer and paint would be required.
How many coats should I apply?
While it offers excellent coverage and may require fewer coats than standard paints, two coats are generally recommended for a uniform and durable finish, especially when covering dark colours or significant imperfections.
What is the drying time?
The paint dries quickly, allowing for recoating within a few hours. For exact drying times, refer to the instructions on the product tin, as this can vary based on ambient conditions.
Can I return this paint if I change my mind?
No, this product is mixed to order and therefore cannot be returned or refunded once purchased.
How do I clean up paint spills?
Clean up spills and painting equipment immediately after use with water. For dried paint, it may be more difficult to remove.
Is the finish completely flat?
Yes, it features a flat matt finish which is excellent for disguising minor surface imperfections and reducing glare.
What is the coverage rate?
The coverage rate varies depending on the surface porosity and application method, but it is designed for excellent coverage, typically around 10-12 square meters per litre.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before application. Apply in consistent strokes and avoid over-working the paint. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and the correct application tool is used.
Paint not covering adequately
Ensure the surface was properly primed if necessary. Apply a second coat as recommended. Check if the previous colour was significantly darker than the white applied.
Paint seems too thick or thin
Stir the paint thoroughly. If needed, a very small amount of water (typically no more than 10%) can be added to aid application, but consult the product tin for specific dilution guidelines. Avoid over-thinning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand down any rough areas before application. For best results on previously painted surfaces, apply a suitable primer if necessary.
Application
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller. For optimal coverage, apply in a consistent manner, avoiding over-application. Two coats are generally recommended for best results, especially when changing colours significantly.
Compatibility
This vinyl matt emulsion is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard interior surface primers.
Care
Clean up spills and painting tools immediately after use with water. The paint finish is wipeable once fully cured, allowing for gentle cleaning of light marks with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
