FAQs

How much paint do I need?

A 2.5L tin typically covers approximately 25 square metres per coat, depending on the surface porosity and method of application. Always measure your walls and refer to the tin's coverage guide.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

This paint is touch dry in 2-4 hours. Allow 4 hours before applying a second coat. Full cure can take several days to a few weeks, depending on ventilation and humidity.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it's suitable for general interior walls, for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, paints specifically designed for those environments (e.g., mould-resistant, wipeable finishes) are generally recommended for better durability.

How do I clean brushes and rollers after use?

Clean all equipment immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint is removed, then allow to air dry.

Is this paint washable?

The matt finish can be gently wiped with a soft, damp cloth for minor marks. However, excessive scrubbing may burnish or damage the finish, making it less washable than silk or satin emulsions.

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?

A primer is recommended for new, bare, or porous surfaces (like new plaster) to seal them and ensure even paint absorption. It's also advisable when making a significant colour change (e.g., dark to light) to improve coverage.

Troubleshooting

Uneven or Patchy Finish

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and primed if necessary. Apply paint evenly in consistent strokes, avoiding thin spots or excessive buildup. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Poor Coverage (Colour Showing Through)

This often indicates insufficient coats or improper surface preparation. Ensure you've applied at least two coats, allowing each to dry fully. If painting over a very dark or stained surface, a primer may be needed.

Paint Peeling or Flaking

This usually points to poor surface adhesion due to inadequate preparation. Ensure all loose paint, dirt, grease, and moisture are removed before painting. Sanding glossy surfaces can also help.

Slow Drying Time

Ensure good ventilation in the room by opening windows and doors. Check the room temperature; very cold or humid conditions can prolong drying. Avoid applying overly thick coats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to Apply: Its smooth consistency allows for quick and even application.
  • Low Odour: The Breatheasy formula significantly reduces the typical strong paint smell.
  • Excellent Coverage: Often requires fewer coats than standard paints, saving time and paint.
  • Modern Matt Finish: Provides a contemporary, elegant look that helps to obscure surface imperfections.
  • Rich Colour: The Midnight Navy offers a striking and versatile aesthetic.

Cons

  • Surface Preparation Required: Like all paints, optimal results depend on clean, dry, and properly prepared surfaces.
  • Not Ideal for High-Traffic/Moisture Areas: Matt finishes can be less durable and harder to clean than silk or satin in areas prone to scuffs or moisture.
  • Limited Washability: While durable, excessive scrubbing can affect the matt finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Before You Begin:

  1. Prepare the Room: Clear out furniture or move it to the center of the room and cover with plastic sheeting or old sheets.
  2. Protect Surfaces: Lay down drop cloths or old newspapers on the floor and other surfaces you want to protect.
  3. Clean Walls: Dust and clean walls and ceilings thoroughly. Remove any grease or stains. For glossy surfaces, a light sanding can improve adhesion.
  4. Fill & Sand: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth once dry.
  5. Tape Edges: Use painter's tape to protect trim, windows, and light fixtures.

Compatibility

This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with a range of common indoor surfaces including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. Avoid using on floors, furniture, or exterior surfaces.

Care

Cleaning Painted Surfaces:

  • Allow the paint to fully cure (usually a few weeks) before attempting to clean.
  • For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing as this can burnish or damage the matt finish.
  • Use mild soap if necessary, but rinse thoroughly.

Tool Care:

  • Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
  • Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is gone, then reshape and allow to dry.

Paint Storage:

  • Store any leftover paint in its original container, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed.
  • Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost.
  • Properly stored, paint can last for several months to a year or more.
