FAQs
How much paint will I need?
Coverage depends on the surface. Typically, 2.5L covers approximately 35m².
How long does it take to dry?
Typically, the paint is touch-dry in 2-4 hours and recoatable after 4-6 hours. However, check the product label for specific instructions.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While suitable for most interior spaces, consider a paint specifically designed for high-moisture environments if applying in a bathroom.
What kind of roller or brush should I use?
A good quality roller or brush designed for emulsion paint is recommended for a smooth finish.
How do I store leftover paint?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the paint from drying out.
Can I apply this paint over wallpaper?
It is generally not recommended to apply paint directly over wallpaper. The wallpaper should be removed or primed before painting.
What is the best way to prepare walls before painting?
Clean the walls to remove any dirt or grease, fill any holes or cracks, sand the surface, and apply a primer if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or patches
Ensure even application, avoid applying too much paint at once, and check for proper surface preparation. Multiple coats may be needed.
Paint not covering well
Ensure proper surface preparation, use a suitable primer, and apply a second coat if needed. Ensure the paint has been mixed thoroughly.
Paint is too thick
If necessary, dilute the paint slightly with a small amount of water, following manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the paint is not old or expired.
