FAQs
Can I return this paint if I change my mind?
No, this product is mixed to order and therefore cannot be returned or refunded unless faulty.
What kind of finish does this paint provide?
This paint provides a flat matt finish, which is ideal for hiding minor imperfections on walls and ceilings.
How many coats are typically needed?
The paint offers excellent coverage and often requires fewer coats than standard paints, typically two coats for a uniform finish.
Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
While suitable for general interior walls and ceilings, this vinyl matt emulsion is best suited for low-moisture areas. For kitchens and bathrooms, consider a paint with higher durability and moisture resistance.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean brushes and other application tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
What is the drying time for this paint?
The paint dries quickly, allowing for recoating typically within a few hours. Always check the specific drying times on the product packaging as conditions can affect this.
Can I paint over existing gloss paint?
It is recommended to lightly sand any gloss surfaces to create a key and ensure good adhesion. For best results, consider using a suitable primer before applying the matt paint.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or uneven.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply paint evenly, working in a consistent direction. Avoid over-spreading thin coats. Check for adequate surface preparation and primer if needed.
Paint is not covering adequately.
Apply a second coat. Ensure the surface was properly primed, especially if painting over dark or glossy colours. Check that the paint has not been over-thinned.
Brush marks are visible.
Use a high-quality brush and apply paint with lighter, even strokes. Avoid overloading the brush. Ensure paint is not drying too quickly on the brush.
Slow drying time.
Ensure application is within the recommended temperature range (above 10°C) and humidity levels are not excessively high. Avoid applying overly thick coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and allow to dry. If painting over dark or glossy surfaces, a primer may be necessary for optimal adhesion and coverage. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to provide a better key.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly using a brush, roller, or spray. For best results, apply two coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats. Avoid applying in excessively humid or cold conditions (below 10°C).
Compatibility: This is a water-based vinyl matt emulsion suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is generally compatible with most standard wallpaper adhesives and fillers. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Care: Clean application tools (brushes, rollers) immediately after use with warm soapy water. Wipe away any spills or drips promptly with a damp cloth. For general cleaning of the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish.
