FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. While durable, it is not specifically rated for high-moisture zones like bathrooms unless well-ventilated.

Does this paint require a primer?

Standard surfaces usually do not require a primer, but new dry plaster must be primed with a suitable wall primer or the Craig & Rose Primer Undercoat.

How many coats do I need?

We recommend applying two coats for the best color intensity and coverage.

Can I use this on kitchen cabinets?

Yes, it can be used on furniture; however, you must apply a protective wax or varnish topcoat to handle the wear and tear common in kitchens.

How long until it is fully dry?

The surface is touch dry in 1-2 hours, but you must wait at least 4 hours before applying a second coat.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy on new plaster

The plaster is likely absorbing too much moisture. Apply a primer-undercoat or thin the first coat of paint with 5-10% water to seal the surface.

Finish looks uneven

Ensure you are using the correct tools and applying two full, even coats. Avoid over-brushing areas that have already begun to dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft, velvety matt finish that looks high-end
  • Highly effective at hiding minor wall imperfections
  • Superior wash and rub resistance for a matt paint
  • Rich, deep color intensity

Cons

  • Furniture requires a wax or varnish topcoat for protection
  • New plaster requires a specific primer-undercoat first
  • Four-hour waiting time between coats

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of loose material. For new dry plaster, apply a coat of Craig & Rose Primer Undercoat first.
  2. Thinning: If working on highly absorbent surfaces, you may thin the paint slightly by adding 5-10% clean water.
  3. Application: Apply using a high-quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for optimal opacity and durability.
  4. Drying Times: Allow 1-2 hours for the surface to dry, and wait at least 4 hours before applying the second coat.
  5. Care: Clean tools with water immediately after use. Once fully cured, treat walls with gentle cleaning methods; furniture should be maintained with appropriate waxes.
