FAQs

What is the best way to prepare the surface before painting?

Clean the surface thoroughly, remove any loose paint or debris, and fill any imperfections with filler. Sand the surface smooth before priming.

How many coats of paint are needed?

Two coats of Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion are generally recommended for optimal coverage and colour depth.

How long should I wait between coats?

Allow at least 2-4 hours of drying time between coats, or as specified on the paint tin.

Can I use London Clay in high-traffic areas?

Estate Emulsion is best suited for low-traffic areas. Consider using Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion or Estate Eggshell for higher traffic areas.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What type of roller or brush should I use?

Use a good-quality roller or brush suitable for emulsion paint. This will help to achieve a smooth and even finish.

What is the coverage of the 2.5L tin?

The 2.5L tin typically covers up to 35m².

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish after application.

Ensure thorough stirring of the paint before application and apply even coats. Consider a second coat for full coverage.

Paint appears to be a different shade after drying.

Ensure the surface is properly primed and sealed. Differences in the substrate can affect the final colour. Apply two coats to achieve the desired colour.

Paint not covering the surface effectively.

Make sure you're using the correct application technique. Ensure two coats are applied and the previous coat is dry. Consider using a primer.
