FAQs

What is the best way to apply this paint?

For best results, stir the paint thoroughly and apply using a brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and finish. Ensure adequate ventilation and drying time between coats.

Can this paint be used in a bathroom?

This paint is primarily for walls and ceilings in normal living areas. While it can be used in bathrooms, it is not specifically formulated for high-moisture environments. For bathrooms, consider using a specialist paint or ensuring excellent ventilation and using a suitable sealant.

How do I clean up after painting?

Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with warm water. Wipe up any spills or splashes promptly with a damp cloth.

What does 'Low VOC' mean?

VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. Low VOC paints release fewer harmful chemicals into the air, contributing to better indoor air quality during and after painting.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No, this product is mixed to order and therefore cannot be returned or refunded. Please ensure you have selected the correct colour and quantity before purchasing.

What type of surfaces is this paint suitable for?

It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, masonry, wallpaper (including blown vinyl), and primed wood.

How much area does a 5L tin cover?

Coverage can vary depending on the surface and application method, but typically a 5L tin will cover approximately 40-50 square meters (430-540 sq ft) for two coats.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering well

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and not overly porous. Apply a primer if needed. Stir the paint thoroughly and ensure an even application without over-thinning.

Uneven or patchy finish

Apply paint evenly with consistent brush/roller strokes. Avoid applying too thinly or too thickly. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

Brush marks or roller marks visible

Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for matt emulsions. Apply paint in consistent strokes, working in a uniform direction. Avoid overworking the paint.

Paint taking too long to dry

Ensure the room is adequately ventilated. Avoid painting in very cold or humid conditions. Check that the paint hasn't been applied too thickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and allow to dry. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Care: Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with water. For cleaning the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the matt finish.
