FAQs

How much paint will I need?

Coverage varies, but typically one liter of paint covers approximately 12-14 square meters. Calculate the surface area and consider two coats.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While this paint is suitable for most interior spaces, consider its moisture resistance. For bathrooms with high humidity, ensure good ventilation.

What type of roller should I use?

Use a medium-pile roller for a smooth finish on most walls. For ceilings, a longer pile roller may be preferable.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Typically, Berger Matt Emulsion dries to the touch in 2-4 hours. Allow 4-6 hours before applying a second coat.

Can I touch up the paint later?

Yes, but make sure the surface is clean before attempting to touch up the painted area. Minor color differences may be visible if the paint has aged.

How do I store leftover paint?

Seal the can tightly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, you can gently wash the painted surface with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering the surface evenly.

Ensure thorough stirring before application and apply a second coat. Make sure the surface is properly primed.

Paint is showing brush or roller marks.

Use high-quality brushes or rollers. Apply the paint evenly and avoid overworking it. Allow for sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint is peeling or cracking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry before painting. Use a compatible primer and allow proper drying time.
