FAQs

Can I use this paint on exterior doors?

No, this specific product is formulated exclusively for interior use.

Does this paint require a primer?

While it can be applied directly to many surfaces, we recommend a primer on bare wood, metal, or highly porous walls to ensure the best durability and finish.

How long should I wait between coats?

While drying times vary by environment, it is generally best to wait 4-6 hours between coats. Refer to the specific product label for exact temperature-related guidance.

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, it features a low VOC formula, which makes it a preferred choice for residential interiors including children's bedrooms.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a water-based paint, you can clean your brushes easily with warm, soapy water.

Can this be used on radiators?

Yes, it is suitable for properly prepared metal, including radiators, provided they are cool during application.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after application.

This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation. Ensure all dust and oils were removed, and if applying over glossy surfaces, ensure the area was sanded properly.

Brush strokes are visible after the paint dries.

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply thin, even coats. Avoid over-working the paint as it begins to set.

The finish looks uneven or 'patchy'.

This is often due to uneven porosity in the substrate. Apply a high-quality primer to seal the surface before applying the finish coats.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or dust. For porous surfaces such as raw wood or plaster, apply a suitable primer to ensure uniform absorption. If painting over existing gloss or semi-gloss paints, lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion. When caring for your finished project, allow at least 7 to 14 days for the paint to fully cure before conducting any deep cleaning. For day-to-day maintenance, a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water is sufficient to remove surface marks. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these may damage the eggshell finish.
