FAQs

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

This paint provides a flat matt finish, which is ideal for disguising minor surface imperfections and offers a non-reflective look.

Can I use this paint on wood or metal surfaces?

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for use on wood or metal without appropriate priming and testing.

How many coats of paint do I need?

While coverage is excellent, two coats are generally recommended for best results, especially when covering darker colours or significant marks. However, it may cover adequately in fewer coats depending on the existing surface.

How should I clean my tools after using this paint?

Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use. For the painted walls, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away light marks.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

This is a vinyl matt paint suitable for general interior walls and ceilings. For very high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, a more durable, washable paint finish might be preferable.

What does 'Low VOC' mean?

Low VOC means the paint contains reduced levels of Volatile Organic Compounds, which are chemicals that can be emitted into the air. This contributes to better indoor air quality.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No, this product is mixed to order and therefore cannot be returned or refunded.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering effectively

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Apply a second coat, ensuring the first coat is dry. Stir the paint thoroughly.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller application. Avoid over-working the paint. Ensure adequate lighting while painting.

Paint taking too long to dry

Ensure application is within recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid applying excessively thick coats. Proper ventilation can aid drying.

Paint peeling or flaking

Surface preparation may have been inadequate. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Remove loose paint and reapply according to preparation guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and allow to dry completely. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to provide a key for the paint.

Compatibility: This vinyl matt paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is generally compatible with most standard interior primers and undercoats. Avoid application in excessively damp or humid conditions.
