FAQs
What surfaces can Leyland Trade Vinyl Matt Emulsion be used on?
It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces.
How should I prepare the surface before painting?
The surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth.
Can this paint be used outdoors?
No, this is a water-based emulsion specifically designed for interior use only.
How much area does one litre of this paint cover?
One litre covers approximately 14 square metres, depending on the surface texture and absorbency.
How do I clean the painted surface after it has dried?
You can wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Is this paint suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms?
While wipeable, this vinyl matt emulsion is best suited for general interior walls and ceilings. For areas with very high humidity or frequent direct water contact, a specialized bathroom or kitchen paint might be more appropriate.
What is the drying time for this paint?
Typically, it can be recoated after 2-4 hours, but this can vary based on temperature and humidity.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly.
Thin slightly with water (no more than 10%) for application, especially for the first coat on new or porous surfaces. Ensure the temperature is suitable for painting; avoid painting in very cold or damp conditions.
Uneven finish or sheen differences.
Ensure consistent application technique, working in full 'wales' (sections) and maintaining a wet edge. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see any missed spots.
Paint is not covering imperfections adequately.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free from significant structural damage. For very deep imperfections, consider filling and sanding before painting. A second coat may be necessary for complete coverage.
Difficulty cleaning application tools.
Clean brushes, rollers, and trays immediately after use with warm water and soap. Dried paint may require more vigorous cleaning or specialized brush cleaner.
Pros and Cons

- The wipeable finish makes maintenance simple.
- Durable and long-lasting for everyday use.
- Water-based formula allows for easy cleanup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, a mist coat of thinned emulsion might be beneficial on new plaster. For best results, apply with a brush or roller.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. This paint is water-based, making it compatible with most standard interior paint application tools.
Care: To clean the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
