FAQs

How much area does the 50ml tester cover?

The 50ml tester pot typically covers approximately 1-2 square feet, depending on the surface and application method.

Can I use this tester on any surface?

Yes, but it's recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and in good condition.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying time can vary, but typically it will be dry to the touch within a few hours. Allow at least 24 hours for the color to fully develop before making a decision.

What should I do if I spill the paint?

Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid letting the paint dry on surfaces.

Can I return the paint tester if I don't like the color?

Check with your retailer for their specific return policy. This typically depends on the store you purchased from.

Do I need to prime the surface before using the tester?

Priming is not necessary for testing, however, if the surface is particularly porous, priming is always recommended for the final application of the full-sized paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears darker/lighter than expected.

This is often due to lighting. Observe the color in different lighting conditions (natural, artificial, warm, and cool light).

Paint doesn't cover evenly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean and smooth) before application. Apply two thin coats if necessary, allowing drying time between coats.
