Product Information

Full details

Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in pink is ideal for homeowners and interior designers looking to achieve a sophisticated, flat-matt aesthetic on interior walls and ceilings. This high-quality paint provides a rich, velvety finish that disguises minor surface imperfections, though users should note that the chalky, porous nature of the finish makes it less resistant to scuffs and scrub-washing compared to modern satin or gloss alternatives.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

No, this emulsion is not formulated for high-moisture environments and may be damaged by steam or water splashes.

How long does it take to dry?

The quick-drying formula typically allows for recoating within a few hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.

Does this paint contain high VOCs?

No, it is formulated with a low VOC content to help maintain better indoor air quality.

Is this paint durable enough for a hallway?

It is not recommended for high-traffic hallways where walls are prone to scuffs, as the matt finish is harder to clean than durable silk or satin paints.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting over bare or porous surfaces like new plaster, applying a mist coat or primer is recommended for the best results.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to dry.

Paint rubbing off during cleaning

The chalky finish is delicate; avoid aggressive scrubbing and use only a light, damp touch for spot cleaning.

Patchy appearance after first coat

Apply a second coat to ensure uniform coverage, as porous surfaces often require two coats to reach full color depth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, low-sheen aesthetic
  • Excellent for hiding small wall imperfections
  • Quick-drying properties for faster project completion
  • Low VOC levels for a more pleasant painting environment

Cons

  • Less resistant to scrubbing and heavy cleaning
  • Can be susceptible to marking in high-traffic areas
  • Not suitable for use in high-moisture zones like kitchens or bathrooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over fresh plaster, use a suitable mist coat or primer to prevent uneven absorption. The paint is compatible with most interior plaster and drywall surfaces. To maintain the finish, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or strong chemical detergents, as these can burnish the soft, chalky surface. Instead, light dusting or very gentle blotting with a slightly damp cloth is recommended if a spot clean is necessary. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out.
