FAQs

Can I use this tester pot to paint a small piece of furniture?

While it is paint, the 50ml volume is intended strictly for color testing on walls or boards, not for covering furniture or decor projects.

Does this paint match the full-size 1829 Emulsion exactly?

Yes, the tester pot is produced using the same formula and pigment concentration as the full-size paint.

How many coats should I apply for testing?

We recommend two coats to ensure the true color depth and chalky finish are accurately represented.

Can I mix this with other colors?

It is not recommended to mix this sample with other paints, as it may alter the finish and color consistency.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The chalky emulsion typically touch-dries quickly, but allow for at least two hours between coats for best results.

Troubleshooting

Color appears different than expected

Colors change based on ambient lighting and wall texture; try viewing the sample in different parts of the room throughout the day.

Paint looks patchy

Ensure the surface is properly primed or clean before application; light colors may require two thin coats for full opacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows for risk-free color selection
  • High-quality, professional-grade pigmentation
  • Compact and easy to handle for test patches
  • Accurate representation of the final chalky finish

Cons

  • Small 50ml volume restricts use to testing only
  • Does not replace the need for full-size cans for coverage
  • Requires proper surface preparation to see true color

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before testing, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If you are testing over a dark color, apply two coats of the sample to get an accurate reading, as the underlying shade may affect the test outcome. Store the tester pot in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly if you plan to save the remainder for later comparison. If the paint settles after storage, shake the pot thoroughly to ensure the pigments are properly mixed.
