FAQs

How many coats of Crown Matt Emulsion do I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended for full opacity and depth of colour, especially if painting over a darker or contrasting existing colour. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

What does 'breatheasy formula' mean?

The 'breatheasy formula' means the paint has very low odour and is virtually free from airborne chemicals, providing a more comfortable and healthier painting environment.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it can be applied, this general matt emulsion is not specifically formulated for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens. For these spaces, a specialist bathroom or kitchen paint with enhanced moisture and scrub resistance is recommended.

How do I clean my painting tools after using this emulsion?

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

What is the drying time for Crown Matt Emulsion?

Drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Generally, it's touch dry in 2-4 hours and can be recoated after 4 hours. Always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can.

Does 'no surface shine' mean it's completely flat?

Yes, 'no surface shine' refers to its matt finish, which is the flattest sheen level available. It absorbs light rather than reflecting it, providing a soft, non-reflective appearance.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, smooth, primed if necessary). Apply paint evenly, avoiding overloading your brush or roller. Maintain a 'wet edge' when rolling to prevent lap marks. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint not providing full coverage after one coat

This is common for many paints. A second coat is usually required for optimal colour depth and evenness, especially when painting over a contrasting colour. Ensure you allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.

Paint appears darker/lighter than expected

Paint colour can vary depending on lighting conditions (natural vs. artificial light) and the colour of the surface underneath. Always test a small area first. Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before use to distribute pigments evenly.

Peeling or flaking paint

This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material before painting. For new plaster or very porous surfaces, a mist coat or primer is crucial for adhesion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • User-Friendly Application: The thick, creamy consistency makes it easy to apply for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals.
  • Low Odour: The `breatheasy` formula minimizes paint smell, improving comfort during and after painting.
  • Aesthetically Pleasing Finish: Delivers a modern, sophisticated matt look without surface shine.
  • Good Coverage Properties: Reduces the effort and amount of paint needed for a complete transformation.
  • Versatile for Rooms: Excellent for bedrooms, living rooms, and other low-moisture interior spaces.

Cons

  • Matt Finish Durability: Matt finishes can be less scrubbable than silk or satin, potentially showing marks more easily in high-traffic areas.
  • Specific Colour: "Peekaboo Blue" may not suit all interior design palettes or preferences.
  • Not for High-Moisture Areas: Generally, matt emulsion is not recommended for bathrooms or kitchens where moisture and condensation are prevalent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Prepare the Room: Clear furniture, lay down dust sheets, and mask off skirting boards, door frames, and ceiling edges with painter's tape.
  2. Surface Preparation: Ensure walls and ceilings are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, or grease. Fill any cracks or holes, sand smooth, and wipe down. For new plaster or porous surfaces, a suitable primer or mist coat (diluted emulsion) is recommended.
  3. Stir the Paint: Thoroughly stir the paint before and periodically during use to ensure consistent colour and consistency.
  4. Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Work in sections, applying even coats. Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and finish, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility

  • Suitable Surfaces: Designed for interior walls and ceilings.
  • Not Recommended For: Areas subject to high moisture or heavy scrubbing, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or exterior surfaces. For these areas, specialized paints are usually required.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning Painted Surfaces: Due to its matt finish, this paint is generally not designed for heavy scrubbing. For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp (not wet) cloth and mild detergent. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners or aggressive scrubbing, as this can 'burnish' the matt finish, leaving shiny spots.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
