FAQs
What type of finish does this paint offer?
This paint offers a soft matt finish.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, this paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and colour depth.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying times can vary, but the paint typically dries to the touch within a few hours. Allow ample time between coats.
How do I clean paint brushes and rollers after use?

What surfaces can I apply this paint to?
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces.
Do I need to use a primer?
A primer is not always necessary, but it can improve adhesion and coverage, particularly if the existing surface is glossy or a darker colour.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
Uneven coverage or streaking.
Apply a second coat of paint. Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred and use even brush strokes or roller application.
Colour appears different after drying.
Ensure the paint is fully dry. Lighting can affect the perceived colour. Consider testing a small area before painting the entire room.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or dirt. Fill any holes or cracks with filler and sand smooth.
- Priming: If painting over a previously painted surface, a primer may not always be necessary, but it can improve adhesion and coverage, particularly if the existing colour is dark or glossy.
- Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats for best results, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second. Use a brush or roller designed for emulsion paint.
- Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most common interior surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces.
- Care: Clean any spills immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damaging the matt finish.
