FAQs

How much paint will I need?

Coverage depends on the surface texture and porosity. Generally, 7.5L covers approximately 50-60 square meters per coat. Always consult the product label for specific coverage details.

Can I use this paint in bathrooms or kitchens?

While suitable for interiors, the matt finish is less moisture-resistant than some other paints. Ensure adequate ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times vary depending on conditions. Generally, allow 2-4 hours for the paint to dry to the touch and 16-24 hours for a full recoat. Refer to the product label for specific drying times.

What kind of roller or brush should I use?

Use a synthetic brush or roller. A medium pile roller is usually suitable for smooth surfaces. For textured surfaces, a longer pile roller may be needed.

How do I store leftover paint?

Store the paint in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures. Make sure the lid is secure to prevent the paint from drying out.

Is this paint washable?

The paint can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, but avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the finish.

What is the best way to prepare a previously painted wall?

Wash the surface to remove dirt and grease. Sand lightly to create a key for the new paint. Fill any holes or cracks, sand smooth, and prime the filled areas. Ensure the surface is dry and dust-free before painting.

Can I tint this paint?

This paint is designed to be used in white and may not be suitable for tinting. Check the product label for specific information about tinting.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering the surface evenly.

Ensure thorough stirring of the paint. Apply a second coat, and check for proper surface preparation.

Paint shows brush or roller marks.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking the product.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. Remove any loose paint and re-prime before repainting.
