FAQs
How many coats of paint are needed?
Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and color depth, especially when changing colors or painting over a previously painted surface.
What kind of tools should I use to apply the paint?
You can use a brush, roller, or paint sprayer. Rollers are generally recommended for larger surfaces, while brushes are better for edges and detail work.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint usually dries to the touch within 2-4 hours, but it may take longer to fully cure. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
While the paint is suitable for most interior spaces, consider using a paint specifically designed for high-moisture areas in bathrooms and kitchens.
How do I store leftover paint?
Store the paint in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
How do I clean the paint brushes and rollers?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm water and soap, rinsing thoroughly until the water runs clear.
Can I apply Berger Matt Emulsion over wallpaper?
It is generally not recommended to paint directly over wallpaper. The wallpaper should be removed or primed with an appropriate primer for best results.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after painting.
Ensure paint is properly mixed. Apply even coats, avoiding overloading the brush or roller. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
Poor coverage or color not as expected.
Ensure the surface is properly primed. Apply a second coat of paint. The existing color of the wall might affect the final color, test a small area first.
Paint not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting. Use a suitable primer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose paint, grease, or dirt. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
- Priming: If painting over a previously painted surface with a different sheen, or if the surface is porous, apply a primer suitable for interior walls and ceilings.

Compatibility:
Berger Matt Emulsion is compatible with most interior surfaces including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to check for compatibility and adhesion.
Care:
Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. For general cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the paint finish.
