FAQs
What is the best way to prepare the surface before painting?
Clean the surface, remove any loose paint or wallpaper, fill any cracks or holes, and sand smooth. Priming is recommended before painting, especially on new or porous surfaces.
How many coats of paint are needed?
Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and colour depth.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying time is typically 2-4 hours, but can vary depending on environmental conditions. Allow for complete drying between coats.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
While it can be used in these areas, Estate Emulsion is best suited for low-traffic areas. Consider a more durable finish for high-moisture or high-traffic spaces.
How do I clean paint brushes and rollers after use?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
What kind of finish does this paint have?
Estate Emulsion offers a highly matte, chalky finish.
What does VOC mean?
VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. This paint has low VOCs, meaning it has minimal odour and is better for your health and the environment.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish after application.
Ensure even application with consistent brush or roller strokes. Avoid applying too much paint at once. Apply a second coat if needed.
Paint not covering well.
Ensure the surface is properly primed. Apply a second coat, allowing the first coat to dry completely.
Paint has a strong odour.
Ensure proper ventilation during and after painting. This paint has low VOC, but ventilation will help speed drying time.
