Full details

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

No, this is a standard Vinyl Matt formulation and is not recommended for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens.

How many square meters will 5L cover?

Generally, this paint covers approximately 17 square meters per liter per coat, meaning the 5L tub covers about 85 square meters on a single coat, depending on surface porosity.

Is this paint wipeable?

As a flat matt paint, it is less resistant to scrubbing than gloss or silk finishes. Light, gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is possible, but harsh scrubbing may damage the finish.

Does it need a primer?

On sound, previously painted surfaces, a primer is usually not necessary. However, for new or bare plaster, a mist coat (watered-down paint) is recommended.

What is the drying time between coats?

Under normal conditions, it is usually touch-dry in 1-2 hours and can be recoated after 2-4 hours.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks or roller streaks.

Ensure you are using a quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller, and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to dry.

The finish looks uneven or patchy.

Apply a second coat once the first has fully dried, ensuring you maintain a 'wet edge' during application to blend overlapping sections.

Paint is peeling shortly after application.

Check that the substrate was fully cleaned and degreased. If the surface was chalky or porous, it may require a primer or sealer first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose material. Apply using a high-quality roller for large surfaces or a synthetic brush for edges and corners. Always stir the paint thoroughly before use. This product is compatible with most standard wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, masonry, and wallpaper. Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out or skinning over. If you need to thin the paint, use only the minimum amount of clean water required to achieve the desired consistency.
