FAQs

What type of finish does this paint provide?

This paint provides a flat matt finish, which is designed to hide imperfections and give a smooth, non-reflective appearance.

How many coats of paint will I need?

The paint offers excellent coverage and often requires fewer coats than standard emulsions. However, the exact number of coats depends on the surface condition and the previous colour. For best results, two coats are typically recommended for a uniform finish.

Can this paint be used on wood or metal?

This product is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for use on wood or metal surfaces without appropriate priming.

How should I clean my tools after using this paint?

Clean brushes, rollers, and other application tools immediately after use with warm water and detergent.

Is this paint washable?

The flat matt finish is designed to be wipeable for minor marks. However, it is not as durable or scrubbable as silk or satin finishes. Avoid harsh scrubbing to maintain the finish.

Why can't I return this paint?

This paint is mixed to order to achieve the specific 'Blue' colour, which means it is a custom-mixed product and cannot be returned or refunded unless faulty.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or difficult to apply

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of clean water (no more than 5% by volume) can be added, but avoid over-thinning as this can affect coverage and finish.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible

Ensure the paint is stirred well before and during use. Apply using smooth, even strokes, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Do not over-spread the paint. Ensure consistent application speed and pressure.

Poor coverage on a dark or uneven surface

While the paint offers high opacity, significantly contrasting or heavily textured surfaces may require an additional coat. Ensure the first coat is applied evenly and allowed to dry fully before applying the second.

Paint is not drying correctly or is streaky

Ensure the room is adequately ventilated and that the temperature is within the recommended range for application (typically 10-25°C). Avoid applying paint too thickly, as this can impede drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a smooth, even finish that masks minor flaws.
  • Offers excellent coverage, potentially reducing the number of coats needed.
  • Easy to apply with good flow and minimal mess.
  • Dries relatively quickly, facilitating quicker project completion.
  • Suitable for a wide range of interior wall and ceiling applications.

Cons

  • Cannot be returned or refunded as it is mixed to order.
  • May require multiple coats on significantly uneven or heavily contrasting surfaces.
  • Flat matt finish can be less durable against heavy scrubbing compared to silk emulsions.
  • Colour specific and may not be available in all desired shades directly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may be required. If painting over wallpaper, ensure it is securely adhered or remove it entirely.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, using smooth, even strokes. Avoid over-spreading. For best results, apply in a well-ventilated area and maintain a consistent application pattern. Apply a second coat if necessary, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for all normal interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. It is recommended to test on an inconspicuous area if applying over existing non-emulsion coatings.

Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. Wipe away minor marks or scuffs from the painted surface gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish.
