FAQs

Can I use this paint on exterior walls?

No, this paint is formulated for interior use only. For exterior projects, please use Hemway Exterior Paint.

Do I need to sand the wall before painting?

In most cases, no. Hemway Interior Paint is designed to adhere to existing paint and varnish without sanding or priming.

Is this paint safe for a nursery?

Yes, it is water-based, low-VOC, and non-toxic, making it a safe choice for bedrooms and nurseries.

How many coats do I need?

Due to its high pigment content, many users find that fewer coats are needed compared to other brands, though two coats are generally recommended for a perfect, uniform finish.

Can I add glitter to this paint?

Yes, this paint is fully compatible with Hemway Glitter Paint Additives.

Is the paint washable?

Yes, the dried finish is durable and washable, making it suitable for high-traffic areas.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface is completely free of wax, oil, or grease. Clean the wall thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reapplying.

Visible brush or roller marks

Ensure you are using high-quality brushes or rollers. Avoid overworking the paint once it begins to dry; use long, smooth strokes.

Paint takes longer than 2 hours to dry

Check the humidity and temperature of the room. High humidity or very cold temperatures can significantly increase drying times.

  • No sanding or priming required for most surfaces
  • Fast drying time of 1-2 hours
  • Eco-friendly and low-VOC formula

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your project, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from wax or oil. Stir the paint thoroughly with a spatula for at least two minutes to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed. You can apply the paint directly over existing paint or varnish. If applying multiple coats, allow a drying time of two hours between layers. The paint is safe for use around children and pets, as it meets safety standards for toys (BS EN71-3). Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after use to maintain the quality of the remaining product.
