FAQs

What is the best way to apply this paint to furniture?

Apply to clean, dry, and primed furniture. Use a quality brush or roller for a smooth finish. Once fully dry, apply a coat of clear matt varnish or wax for protection and durability.

How many coats of paint are typically needed?

For best results and optimal colour depth, two coats are generally recommended. Coverage may vary depending on the surface and colour being covered.

Can this paint be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

While durable and wipeable, this is a matt emulsion. For areas prone to high moisture or grease, a more resistant finish like silk or satin might be preferable. Ensure good ventilation.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying times can vary. Typically, it is touch-dry within 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours. Always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can for precise drying times.

What is the '1829 collection'?

The 1829 collection by Craig & Rose features a curated selection of colours from their vintage archive and historical sources, offering unparalleled depth and clarity.

Is this paint suitable for priming?

This is a decorative emulsion paint. It is not designed to be used as a primer. A suitable primer should be used on the surface before applying this paint for optimal adhesion and finish.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm water and mild soap.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply in thin, even coats using a quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint not covering adequately

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed. Apply a second coat if necessary. Stir paint well before and during application.

Difficulty in cleaning the surface

For painted walls, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish. For furniture, ensure a protective wax or varnish was applied.

Paint seems too thick

Stir the paint vigorously. If still too thick for application, a very small amount of clean water may be added (check product instructions for recommended dilution if available).

Pros and Cons

  • Provides excellent depth and clarity of colour.
  • Effectively hides minor surface imperfections.
  • Durable and can be wiped clean.
  • Suitable for multiple interior surfaces and furniture upcycling.
  • Draws on a rich historical colour palette.

Cons

  • Requires a protective finish (wax or varnish) for furniture durability.
  • As a matt finish, it may show brush marks if not applied carefully.
  • Can be more challenging to clean than silk or satin finishes if heavily soiled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Apply a suitable primer if necessary, especially on new or previously painted surfaces.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, typically in two coats for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer recommendations.

Compatibility: This emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings. For furniture, apply a protective topcoat of wax or varnish after the paint has fully dried to enhance durability.

Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For maintenance of painted surfaces, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
