Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint - Aftershow - 2.5L - Grey

A 2.5L can of Crown Paints Matt Emulsion typically covers approximately 25-30 square meters with one coat, depending on the surface porosity and texture. For two coats, this coverage will be halved.

Generally, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth, durability, and even coverage, especially when painting over a darker or contrasting colour. A single coat may suffice for very light colour changes on well-prepared surfaces.

Thanks to its quick-drying formula, you can typically apply a second coat after 2-4 hours, or once the first coat is completely dry to the touch. Always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can.

While suitable for most interior walls, for high-moisture environments like bathrooms and kitchens, we generally recommend using specialized kitchen and bathroom paints that offer enhanced resistance to moisture and mould.

Since this is a water-based paint, brushes, rollers, and other tools can be easily cleaned immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is gone.

Matt emulsion paints are generally not highly scrubbable. For light marks, you can gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the matte finish.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and smooth. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overloading your brush or roller. Maintain a wet edge during application and allow adequate drying time between coats.

Ensure good ventilation in the room. Apply paint in recommended thickness; too thick layers can prolong drying time. Check room temperature and humidity, as extreme conditions can affect drying.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. For significant colour changes or very porous surfaces, a primer or an additional mist coat may be necessary. Apply adequate paint to your brush/roller for each stroke.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, dust-free, and sound before painting. Remove any loose or flaking old paint prior to application and consider priming if the surface is chalky or unstable.
