Crown Walls & Ceilings Early Dawn Matt Emulsion Paint 2.5L - Grey

For optimal results and full colour depth, two coats are generally recommended, especially when painting over a significantly different colour or bare plaster.

This standard matt emulsion is designed for walls and ceilings in general living areas. For high-moisture environments like bathrooms and kitchens, it's typically better to use paints specifically formulated with moisture and mould resistance.

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear, then reshape brushes and let them air dry.

Info needed: [Typically, allow 2-4 hours between coats for emulsion paint, but always refer to specific product instructions on the tin.]

Info needed: [On average, a 2.5L tin can cover approximately 25-30 square meters per coat, depending on the porosity and texture of the surface being painted.]

While the matt finish provides a beautiful aesthetic, it is generally less washable or scrubbable than silk or eggshell finishes. For minor marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth, but avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent burnishing.

Ensure the surface was clean and properly primed. Apply paint evenly, avoiding excessively thick coats, and maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks. Avoid overworking the paint once applied.

Matt emulsions often achieve their full depth and uniform colour after two coats. Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply the second coat after the recommended drying time for the first coat.

Ensure proper ventilation in the room. High humidity or low temperatures can prolong drying times. Apply paint in recommended thickness; very thick coats take longer to dry.
