FAQs
Is this paint suitable for kitchens?
While it can be used in kitchens, it is not specifically designed for high-moisture or grease-prone areas. For those zones, a dedicated kitchen paint is recommended.
Can I apply this over old gloss paint?
Yes, but you must thoroughly sand the gloss surface to provide 'tooth' for the emulsion to adhere to, and apply a suitable primer if necessary.
How long until it is touch dry?
Under normal conditions, it is generally touch-dry within 1 to 2 hours, but check the product label for specific environmental variations.
What is the best way to clean my brushes?
Since it is a water-based paint, you can wash brushes and rollers thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
Does it need a primer?
If applying to new plaster or bare surfaces, a mist coat (thinned paint) or a dedicated primer is recommended.
Is the Soft Lime color light-reflective?
No, as a matt emulsion, it is specifically designed to absorb light rather than reflect it.
Troubleshooting
Visible lap marks or streaks
Work in smaller sections and maintain a wet edge by overlapping strokes before the paint dries.
Paint peeling or flaking
Ensure the underlying surface was free of dirt and loose debris before application; sand and re-prime the area.
Thin or patchy coverage
Ensure you are using the correct application equipment and applying a generous, uniform coat; re-apply a second coat if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, ensure your walls are properly primed if applying over porous surfaces or new plaster. Use a high-quality brush for cutting into corners and a roller for larger flat areas. To maintain the finish, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or strong chemical solvents. If a spill occurs, lightly dab with a soft, damp cloth immediately. Store the paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out or skinning over.
