FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This Crown Matt Emulsion Paint is ideal for interior walls and ceilings, including surfaces like plaster, brick, wallpaper, and drywall/plasterboard.

How many coats do I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and depth of color. However, depending on the original surface color and desired finish, one or three coats might be necessary.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying. It is usually touch dry within 2-4 hours, but always refer to the specific drying times on the product label for recoating, which is generally around 4 hours.

Is it truly odour-free?

This paint features a 'virtually odour-free breatheasy formula'. While it has a significantly reduced odor compared to traditional paints, ensure good ventilation during and after painting for maximum comfort.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it can be used in any interior room, standard matt emulsion is generally not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens as it may not withstand the humidity and frequent cleaning required. Consider a specialized bathroom or kitchen paint for these areas.

How do I clean my painting tools?

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is gone, then reshape and allow to dry.

Does it require a primer?

A primer is recommended for best results, especially on new, bare plaster, very porous surfaces, or when changing a dramatic color. This helps with adhesion, coverage, and achieving a uniform finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or visible roller marks.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and smooth. Apply paint evenly with consistent pressure, avoiding overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats and use a good quality roller with appropriate nap.

Poor coverage or color showing through after multiple coats.

Apply a suitable primer before painting, especially on new or highly porous surfaces, or when changing from a very dark to a light color. Ensure each coat is fully dry before applying the next, and apply generously without overloading the roller/brush.

Paint appears darker or lighter than expected.

Paint color can vary slightly based on screen display or lighting conditions. Always apply a small test patch in an inconspicuous area and allow it to dry fully to see the true color in your room's lighting. Ensure thorough stirring before and during use to maintain color consistency.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Virtually odour-free, enhancing comfort during painting
  • Easy to apply due to its thick and creamy formula
  • Provides excellent coverage, saving time and paint
  • Achieves a modern, non-reflective matte finish
  • Quick-drying, allowing for faster project completion
  • Suitable for a variety of interior surfaces like plaster, brick, and wallpaper

Cons

  • Matte finish can be less resistant to scuffs and marks compared to more durable sheens
  • May require extra coats on very dark or unevenly prepared surfaces
  • Surface preparation is essential for optimal finish and adhesion
  • Not ideal for high-moisture areas like bathrooms without a specialized primer

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, and loose flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
  2. Prime (Optional but Recommended): For new plaster, porous surfaces, or when painting over a significantly darker color, apply a suitable primer or a diluted first coat of emulsion (up to 10% water) to ensure optimal adhesion and a consistent finish.
  3. Protect Your Space: Cover floors, furniture, and fixtures with dust sheets. Use painter's tape to mask off skirting boards, door frames, and ceiling lines.
  4. Stir the Paint: Before use, thoroughly stir the paint to ensure an even consistency and color.

Compatibility

This Crown Matt Emulsion Paint is designed for `interior walls and ceilings`. It is compatible with:

  • Plaster
  • Brick
  • Wallpaper
  • Drywall/Plasterboard

Do not use on floors, high-traffic areas prone to heavy scrubbing, or surfaces requiring a durable, washable finish like kitchens and bathrooms without a specific bathroom/kitchen emulsion.

Care

  • Cleaning Tools: Wash brushes and rollers thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
  • Cleaning Painted Surfaces: Due to its matte finish, this paint is less durable against scrubbing than silk or eggshell finishes. For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth using plain water. Avoid harsh detergents or vigorous scrubbing, as this can burnish the surface or remove the paint.
