FAQs
What is the best way to prepare the walls before painting?
Clean the walls to remove dust, dirt, and grease. Fill any holes or cracks with filler and sand smooth. Apply a primer if needed.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
Two coats are generally recommended for optimal color and coverage.
How do I clean paint brushes and rollers?
Wash brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While suitable for most interior walls, consider the humidity levels in bathrooms. Ensure the room is well-ventilated.
What is the coverage area of the 750ml tin?
Coverage depends on the surface texture and application method. Typically, 750ml will cover a moderate area, sufficient for a small room or touch-ups.
Is this paint washable?
Yes, the eggshell finish is washable. Use a damp cloth to wipe away marks or stains.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying times vary, but typically allow 2-4 hours between coats. Refer to the paint tin for specific drying times.
Can I apply this paint directly to a previously painted wall?
Yes, but ensure the old paint is clean, sound, and lightly sanded if glossy. Consider priming if the existing color is significantly different or if there are any issues with adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after application.
Ensure paint is properly mixed and apply in even strokes. Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply a second coat, allowing the first coat to dry completely.
Paint color appears different than expected.
Lighting conditions and the underlying wall color can affect the final appearance. Test the color in an inconspicuous area before painting the entire wall. Allow the paint to fully dry to see the true color.
Poor coverage.
Ensure adequate surface preparation and apply two coats. Use a primer if painting over a dark color or porous surface. Apply an even film of paint.
