FAQs
How much paint will I need?
Coverage depends on the surface and application method. Typically, a 2.5L tin will cover approximately 35 square metres with one coat. Always calculate your area and allow for two coats.
What tools do I need?
You will need a brush or roller, paint tray, masking tape (if required), and a stirring stick.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times vary. Check the product label for specific details, but usually, it takes a few hours to touch dry and 16-24 hours for a full dry between coats. Ensure good ventilation.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While it is primarily designed for living areas and bedrooms, ensure the bathroom has good ventilation, as it is not a specialized moisture-resistant paint.
How do I clean the walls after painting?
Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.
Is a primer necessary?
A primer is recommended, especially for unpainted or porous surfaces and for significant colour changes. It aids adhesion and improves the final finish.
What should I do if I get paint on my skin?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after application.
Ensure paint is properly stirred, use a good quality roller or brush, and avoid applying too much paint at once. Apply even coats and maintain a 'wet edge'.
Poor coverage or the colour isn't true.
Ensure proper surface preparation and consider using a primer. Apply two coats of paint to achieve the best colour depth.
Paint not adhering to the surface.
Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Ensure the paint is within its expiry date.
