While not always mandatory, using a primer is highly recommended for new plaster, very porous surfaces, or if you are significantly changing the wall colour. A primer ensures better adhesion, a more even finish, and can reduce the number of topcoats required.

Info needed: Please refer to the coverage information on the product tin, as this can vary based on surface porosity and application method. As a general guide, emulsion paints typically cover around 10-12 square meters per liter per coat.

Yes, its washable and durable nature makes it suitable for areas prone to moisture and marks, such as kitchens and bathrooms. However, for areas with very high condensation, a dedicated bathroom or kitchen paint with enhanced mould resistance might be considered for optimal long-term performance.

Clean all equipment immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed. For best results, use a brush cleaner if paint has started to dry.

Ensure you are applying the paint evenly, maintaining a wet edge to prevent overlapping dry paint. Use a good quality roller or brush, and avoid overspreading the paint. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

This is often due to improper surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, sound, and free from grease or loose material. For porous or difficult surfaces, a suitable primer or mist coat should be applied first.

Always check a small test patch in an inconspicuous area and allow it to dry fully, as paint colour can change slightly as it dries and looks different in various lighting conditions. Ensure the surface was primed evenly if changing from a very dark to a light colour, or vice-versa.

Allow the paint to fully cure before washing, which can take up to 2-4 weeks depending on ventilation and humidity. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners which can damage the matt finish.
