FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings in dry rooms. It is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens.

Do I need to use a primer?

A primer is recommended if you are painting onto porous surfaces, new plaster, or drastically different underlying colors.

How many coats are typically required?

For best results, two coats are recommended to ensure full color depth and a uniform finish.

Is the finish washable?

While it is a durable emulsion, the matte finish is delicate. Spot cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is advised rather than scrubbing.

How long should I wait between coats?

Due to the quick-drying formula, most projects allow for a second coat within 2-4 hours, though this varies based on room temperature.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and avoid overworking the paint once it begins to tack up.

Paint is not sticking properly to the wall

Confirm that the surface was thoroughly cleaned and primed. Old, glossy, or chalky surfaces require sanding before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Professional-grade matte finish
  • Fast drying time for efficient work
  • Low VOC formulation for indoor air quality
  • Excellent coverage and smooth application

Cons

  • Matte finish can show scuffs more easily
  • Requires careful preparation for best results
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If painting over fresh plaster, use an appropriate primer to seal the surface. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners; a soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient for removing surface dust. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent the paint from drying out prematurely.
