Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sophisticated, ultra-matt finish for interior walls and ceilings. This premium paint delivers exceptional depth of color and a velvety texture, making it perfect for creating elegant, timeless living spaces. While it offers excellent coverage, users should note that the chalky finish is slightly more delicate than high-sheen traditional emulsions, requiring careful consideration for high-traffic areas prone to frequent contact or scuffing.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

This emulsion is designed for general interior use. It is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas, so it is best kept to living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms.

Does it require an undercoat?

On previously painted, stable surfaces, an undercoat is usually unnecessary. However, if painting onto raw plaster or a very dark color, a primer or base coat is highly recommended.

How many coats should I apply?

For optimal depth and coverage, we recommend applying two full coats.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying to the touch, but we recommend waiting at least 4 hours between coats for best results.

Can I touch up small scuffs?

Yes, but due to the ultra-matt nature of the paint, touch-ups may be visible depending on the light angle. It is best to feather the edges of any touch-up area.

What tools should I use for application?

A high-quality synthetic bristle brush for edges and a medium-pile microfiber roller for walls work best with this formulation.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven after drying

This is often caused by uneven surface porosity. Apply a high-quality interior primer to seal the wall before adding a final topcoat.

Brush or roller marks are visible

Ensure you are using a quality synthetic roller sleeve and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the finish to self-level properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ultra-matt finish provides a high-end, premium aesthetic
  • Low VOC formula makes it safer for indoor environments
  • Fast drying time allows for efficient project completion
  • High opacity ensures rich color saturation and excellent coverage

Cons

  • Finish may be more susceptible to scuffing than glossier paints
  • Limited to interior use only
  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. Fill any cracks or holes with an appropriate filler and sand smooth before painting.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller, ensuring an even coat. If applying over a strong, contrasting color, a primer or undercoat may be required first.

Care: The paint requires a full curing period to reach maximum durability. Avoid scrubbing the walls during the first 30 days. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth and gentle pressure; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may alter the matte finish.
