FAQs

How much paint do I need?

Coverage depends on the porosity of the tiles. A 2.5L tin typically covers a reasonable area. Refer to the product label for specific coverage details.

Can I use this paint on walls?

No, this paint is specifically formulated for floor tiles and is not recommended for use on walls.

Do I need to prime the tiles?

No, this paint is designed to adhere directly to the tiles without the need for a primer, saving you time and effort.

How long will the paint last?

With proper preparation and care, the paint should provide a durable and long-lasting finish, but the lifespan can vary based on usage and environmental factors.

What tools do I need?

A brush or roller, a paint tray, and appropriate cleaning supplies are needed. Consider the 'Ready to Roll Kit' for larger projects.

What if I don't use all the paint within 5 days?

Once the activator is mixed in, the paint's properties will change, and it may not perform as intended after the five-day period.

Can I test the color before buying a full tin?
