This paint is designed for standard interior walls. It is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens where moisture and frequent cleaning are required.
Coverage depends on the porosity of your walls, but 2.5L typically covers approximately 25-30 square meters per coat.
Due to the quick-drying formula, you can usually apply a second coat after 2-4 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.
It provides a beautiful aesthetic finish, but as a chalky matt paint, it is more delicate than eggshell or semi-gloss finishes and should be treated with care.
While not always strictly necessary on bare plaster, using a primer will provide a more uniform finish, improve adhesion, and ensure better color payoff.
Ensure you are using the correct nap roller for the surface and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to self-level properly.
Ensure the wall is properly primed and that you apply at least two full, even coats rather than trying to achieve full coverage in one thick layer.
Before starting your project, ensure that the walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint. If you are painting over a dark color, apply a high-quality primer to ensure the green finish reaches its true potential with fewer coats. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap roller for the most even application. To clean, use a damp cloth and a very mild soap solution if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaning agents or harsh scrubbing, as this can burnish the soft matt finish of the paint.
