Crown Walls & Ceilings Mustard Jar Matt Emulsion Paint 5L - Yellow

The coverage rate can vary depending on the porosity and texture of the surface. Always refer to the product label for the specific coverage guidelines for this 5L tin, usually expressed in square meters per litre.

This paint is suitable for general interior walls and ceilings. For high moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, it's generally recommended to use a paint specifically formulated for these environments, which offers enhanced durability and moisture resistance. The matt finish may be less resistant to steam and splashes than a specific kitchen/bathroom paint.

Typically, two coats are recommended for achieving optimal colour depth and even coverage, especially when painting over a contrasting colour. However, a single coat may suffice on pre-primed, similar-coloured surfaces, or if you prefer a more translucent finish.

For best results with emulsion paints, use good quality synthetic brushes and medium pile rollers. These tools are designed to hold and release emulsion paint effectively, helping you achieve a smooth and even finish.

Drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Generally, matt emulsion paint is touch dry in a few hours and ready for a second coat within 2-4 hours. Always refer to the specific drying and recoat times listed on the product label for accurate information.

As a matt emulsion, this paint provides a beautiful flat finish but generally offers limited washability compared to silk or satin finishes. For marks or dirt, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh rubbing to prevent polishing the surface.

It is generally not recommended to paint directly over old wallpaper. For best results, remove old wallpaper, prepare the surface thoroughly (clean, repair, prime if necessary), and then apply the paint. Painting over wallpaper can lead to bubbling, peeling, or an uneven finish.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Apply paint in even, consistent coats using a high-quality roller or brush. Allow sufficient drying time between coats. Porous surfaces may require a primer or a diluted first coat.

Thoroughly stir the paint before and during application to ensure pigments are evenly distributed. Apply at least two coats, allowing adequate drying time between each. For very dark or light existing colours, an extra coat may be needed.

Ensure ambient room temperature is moderate and avoid painting in direct strong sunlight or drafts. Work efficiently and avoid overworking the paint once applied. If using a roller, maintain a wet edge.

While formulated to be low odour, some individuals may be more sensitive. Ensure excellent ventilation during painting and for several days afterward by opening windows and doors.
