FAQs
Can I use this paint in rooms other than the kitchen or bathroom?
While it is specifically engineered for high-moisture areas, its durable, wipeable finish makes it a viable choice for hallways or other high-traffic living spaces.
Is this paint returnable?
No, because each batch is mixed to order, this product cannot be returned unless you encounter specific quality issues with the paint.
How should I clean my brushes after use?
Since this is a water-based paint, you can clean your brushes and rollers using warm water and mild soap.
Does the Chestnut color look very dark?
Chestnut is a rich, warm brown tone. Depending on the lighting in your room, it may appear deeper. It is highly recommended to view a sample before committing to a full room.
How many coats are recommended for full coverage?
For optimal results and to ensure the moisture-resistant properties are fully active, we recommend two coats, allowing for full drying time in between.
Can I apply this over oil-based paint?
It is generally recommended to sand the glossy oil-based surface first and apply a suitable primer before using this water-based paint to ensure proper adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears to be a different shade than expected.
Screen calibrations can distort color representation. Always perform a small patch test on a sample board or an inconspicuous area of the wall to verify the color in your room's specific lighting.
The finish looks uneven or streaky.
Ensure the wall surface is perfectly smooth and adequately primed. Use high-quality rollers and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to prevent drying marks.
Paint is not sticking well to the wall.
Check if the surface was cleaned of all grease, soap, or dust prior to application. If the wall is glossy, it may require light sanding to create a profile for the paint to grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, start by preparing your surface through sanding and cleaning. As a water-based product, use synthetic brushes or rollers for a smooth application. If your walls have been previously painted with a high-gloss finish, lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion. Once applied, allow sufficient drying time between coats as per standard water-based paint guidelines. For daily care, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent to maintain the integrity of the soft sheen finish. Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent the paint from drying out.
