FAQs
What surfaces can this paint be used on?
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings.
How many coats of paint are typically needed?
The paint offers excellent coverage, often requiring fewer coats than standard paints, but this depends on the existing colour and surface condition. Two coats are common for best results, especially when covering dark colours.
What is the drying time for this paint?
The paint dries quickly. A second coat can usually be applied after 2-4 hours, but always check the surface for dryness.
Can I return this paint if I change my mind?
No, this product is mixed to order and cannot be returned or refunded.
How do I clean up after using this paint?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately with water. Clean decorated surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While suitable for general interior use, for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, a specialist vinyl matt or kitchen & bathroom paint with enhanced durability and moisture resistance may be more appropriate.
What does 'Low VOC' mean?
Low VOC means the paint has a low content of Volatile Organic Compounds, which are chemicals that can be emitted into the air and may affect indoor air quality.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly
Stir thoroughly. If still too thick, you may add a small amount of clean water (typically no more than 10% for the first coat on porous surfaces, but follow specific product dilution guidelines if available).
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure even application and consistent roller pressure. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow proper drying time between coats.
Poor coverage on dark colours
A second coat is likely necessary. For very drastic colour changes, consider using a suitable primer or a neutral undercoat first.
Paint is not drying
Check room temperature and humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid painting in very cold (<10°C) or damp conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
- Prime new plaster or any repaired areas with a suitable primer. For previously painted surfaces, a mist coat (diluted emulsion) might be beneficial on new plaster.
- Protect surrounding areas with dust sheets and masking tape.
Application
- Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
- Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. For best results, use a quality roller for walls and a brush for cutting in edges.
- Apply evenly, working in a criss-cross motion with a roller for consistent coverage.
- Allow sufficient drying time between coats as recommended.
Compatibility
- Suitable for interior walls and ceilings.
- Compatible with most standard interior paint application tools.
Care
- Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water.
- For cleaning decorated surfaces, use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
