FAQs
What type of surface is this paint suitable for?
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It works well on plaster, wallpaper (that is stable and not heavily textured), and previously painted surfaces.
How many coats of paint are typically needed?
The number of coats depends on the surface and the previous colour. However, this paint offers excellent coverage and often requires fewer coats, typically 1-2 coats for a good finish over a similar or lighter colour, and potentially 2-3 for significantly darker or vibrant colours.
Can I return this paint if I change my mind?
No, this product is mixed to order and cannot be returned or refunded. Please ensure you have selected the correct colour and quantity before purchasing.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint dries quickly. Recoating times are typically 2-4 hours, but this can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Always check the product tin for specific drying times.
What is the best way to clean brushes and rollers after use?
Clean your brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm water and soap. Ensure all paint residue is washed out.
Does the flat matt finish show roller marks?
The flat matt finish is designed to minimize the appearance of imperfections and roller marks when applied correctly. Consistent application and avoiding overworking the paint will help achieve a smooth, uniform finish.
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
The paint provides excellent coverage. A general guideline is up to 10-12 square meters per litre per coat, but this can vary based on the surface texture and absorbency.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or streaky
Ensure the paint has been stirred thoroughly. If necessary, thin slightly with a small amount of water (consult product guidelines for exact ratios), but avoid over-thinning.
Poor coverage or colour not hiding
Check if the surface was properly prepared and primed. Ensure you are applying at the recommended thickness and that sufficient coats have been applied. Consider if the previous colour was exceptionally dark or vibrant.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint evenly using consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure you are using a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints.
Paint is peeling or flaking
This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before painting. If painting over a glossy surface, it may need sanding for better adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sand smooth. If painting over a glossy surface, lightly sand it to create a key for the paint to adhere to. For best results, apply a suitable primer, especially on new plaster or previously unpainted surfaces.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly using a brush, roller, or spray. For optimal coverage, apply in a consistent direction. Allow adequate drying time between coats as recommended on the tin.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is generally compatible with most standard wallpaper adhesives and fillers, provided they are fully dry and stable. Not suitable for exterior use or for surfaces subject to heavy condensation or abrasion.
Care: Clean spills and brushes immediately after use with water. For routine cleaning of the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the matt finish.
