FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While the paint is wipeable, it is designated as 'Home Paint' and may not have the enhanced moisture resistance required for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or shower enclosures. For such areas, a specialized bathroom paint is recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. Typically, it is touch-dry within 1-2 hours. Recoating is possible after 2-4 hours, depending on conditions like temperature and humidity.

What is the coverage rate?

Coverage can vary depending on the surface porosity and application method, but typically offers coverage of around 10-12 square meters per litre.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

This paint is formulated for interior walls and ceilings. For wood or metal surfaces, a primer and paint specifically designed for those materials would be necessary.

What is the best way to clean application tools?

Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately after use with soap and water.

What are the environmental benefits?

The paint is water-based and non-toxic, contributing to better indoor air quality. It is also described as environmentally friendly in its formulation.

How many coats are usually needed?

For best results and opacity, two coats are generally recommended, especially with darker colors like black.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, dry, and has been primed if necessary. Check for any contaminants like grease or dust.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply in thin, even coats. Work with a consistent technique, and avoid overworking the paint. Consider using a roller for larger areas.

Difficulty cleaning the surface

Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7-14 days) before attempting to clean. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water, and avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing.

Slow drying time

Ensure application is within the recommended temperature and humidity range. Very thick coats or high humidity can slow drying. Apply thinner coats if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old, flaking paint. For best results and adhesion, apply a suitable primer, especially on previously painted surfaces or unpainted plaster. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer in a well-ventilated area.

Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard interior surfaces that have been primed appropriately.

Care: Clean brushes, rollers, and spills immediately after use with soap and water. For the painted surface, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap solution for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the finish.
