FAQs

Can this paint be used in bathrooms or kitchens?

While it provides a beautiful finish, it is a standard matt emulsion. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms, a dedicated moisture-resistant paint is generally recommended.

How many coats are typically required?

Due to its high opacity, two coats are usually sufficient for a professional finish on most surfaces.

Is this paint suitable for painting over wood?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. Wood surfaces require a dedicated wood paint or primer.

What is the drying time between coats?

Under normal conditions, it is touch-dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours.

How do I return the paint if the color is wrong?

As this is a custom-mixed product tailored to your order, it is non-refundable and cannot be returned.

Can I use a sprayer to apply this?

Yes, it can be applied via spray, but ensure you follow the manufacturer's dilution guidelines for your specific spraying equipment.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a quality roller sleeve and maintain a 'wet edge' by working in smaller sections; do not over-work the paint once it begins to tack.

Paint is not hiding the previous color well

Apply a proper primer or a dedicated undercoat if the previous color is significantly different or if the surface is highly porous.

Paint feels chalky or dust-like

This is often a sign of insufficient surface preparation; ensure all dust and debris were removed before initial application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior coverage reduces the amount of paint needed
  • Flat finish hides wall texture and imperfections effectively
  • Fast drying time speeds up project completion
  • High-quality, professional finish suitable for all interior rooms

Cons

  • Custom mixed-to-order product is non-refundable
  • Matt finish is less scrubbable than satin or gloss finishes
  • Requires careful preparation of the surface for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If the surface is porous, applying a mist coat (a diluted mixture of paint and water) is recommended to seal the surface before applying the full coats.

  • Tools: Use a quality synthetic brush for cutting in and a medium-pile roller for large wall areas.
  • Storage: Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use and store in a cool, dry place away from frost.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with most interior wall substrates including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces that have been sanded down.
