FAQs

What type of finish does this paint have?

This is a matt emulsion paint, meaning it has a non-reflective, flat finish.

Can I use this paint on a radiator?

Yes, this paint is suitable for metal surfaces, including radiators, provided they are properly prepared and primed.

How many coats do you recommend?

For best results and optimal coverage, two coats are generally recommended. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

What is the best way to clean painted surfaces?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the matt finish.

Is this paint washable?

While the paint is durable and hard-wearing, the matt finish means it is best cleaned with a damp cloth rather than being heavily scrubbed, to maintain its appearance.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, it can be used on wood, but ensure the furniture is properly prepared and primed for a durable finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering evenly

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred and applied evenly with a suitable roller or brush. Check if the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary.

Brush marks visible

Apply paint with long, even strokes in one direction. Avoid overworking the paint. Consider using a high-quality brush designed for emulsion paints.

Drying time is longer than expected

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Drying times can be affected by humidity and temperature; avoid painting in very cold or damp conditions.

Surface imperfections showing through

Ensure the surface was smooth and properly filled before painting. For very dark or uneven surfaces, a tinted primer might be beneficial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Remove any loose paint or wallpaper. For bare wood or metal, apply a suitable primer.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.
