Product Information
Full details
The Craig & Rose Red paint is designed for homeowners and professional decorators looking to achieve a bold, high-quality finish on interior surfaces. This premium paint is prized for its exceptional coverage and deep, vibrant pigmentation that elevates the aesthetic of any room. While it offers a professional-grade look, users should note that the intensity of the red pigment requires careful preparation and multiple coats to achieve a perfectly uniform finish, especially when covering darker underlying colors.

FAQs
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, this specific Craig & Rose Red paint is formulated exclusively for interior applications.
Can I use this on furniture?
Yes, provided the surface is properly primed and sanded to allow for good adhesion of the paint.
How long does it take to dry?
While the paint is touch-dry within a few hours, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours between coats for the best results.
Do I need a special primer?
A standard high-quality interior primer is sufficient for most surfaces, though a tinted primer can help the red color pop.
How should I store leftover paint?
Keep the lid sealed tightly, store in a temperature-controlled environment, and keep the can away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks after drying
Ensure you are using the correct nap size for your wall texture and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.
Uneven color intensity
This is often caused by insufficient stirring. Mix the paint thoroughly from the bottom of the can before application.
Paint not covering underlying dark color
Apply an additional coat of primer or use a tinted primer base designed for deep color topcoats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, start by cleaning the surface to remove dust, grease, and grime. If the surface is previously painted or porous, a coat of primer is highly recommended to improve adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed. For maintenance, clean the finished surface only with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that might dull the finish. Store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the formula from drying out or developing a skin.
