Troubleshooting
Uneven colour finish
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply paint in consistent, even strokes and avoid overspreading. Ensure sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint is not adhering well
Check that the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from grease). Glossy surfaces may need light sanding. A suitable primer may be required for optimal adhesion.
Brush marks or roller texture visible
Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for emulsion paints. Apply paint evenly and avoid applying too thickly. Allow the paint to dry fully before applying a second coat.
Paint seems too thick
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a very small amount of clean water can be added (check paint tin for specific recommendations, usually no more than 5-10%).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Apply a suitable primer if painting over dark colours or bare plaster.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, working in even strokes. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats as recommended on the tin (typically 2-4 hours).
Compatibility: This emulsion paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings in kitchens and bathrooms. It is not recommended for high-gloss surfaces without proper preparation or for exterior use.
Care: Clean spills and brushes immediately with water. To clean painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the matt finish.
