FAQs
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
This paint is designed for standard interior spaces. Check the product label to ensure it has the appropriate moisture resistance if applying in high-humidity areas like bathrooms.
How many coats do I need?
While coverage depends on the surface colour, two coats are generally sufficient for a professional, uniform finish.
How long should I wait between coats?
Due to the quick-drying formula, you can usually recoat within 2 to 4 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.
What tools are best for application?
A medium-nap roller for walls and a high-quality angled sash brush for cutting in around trim and corners work best.
Does this paint have a strong odor?
Craig & Rose premium paints are formulated for modern interiors and typically have a low VOC profile, resulting in a manageable scent that dissipates quickly with proper ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Paint is drying too fast, leaving lap marks
Reduce the ambient temperature of the room or slightly increase humidity; maintain a 'wet edge' by working in smaller sections.
Poor adhesion to the wall surface
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and primed. If the wall was glossy, it must be sanded before applying the paint.
Uneven finish or 'flashing'
This is often caused by lack of primer on absorbent patches or uneven roller pressure. Ensure the wall is sealed with primer before applying topcoats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, ensure that your walls are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over a porous or patched surface, applying a high-quality primer is essential to ensure uniform colour absorption.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most standard interior primers. Do not mix with other brands or types of paint, as this may alter the formulation's durability and drying properties.
Care: Once fully cured—which typically takes a few weeks for maximum hardness—the surface can be cleaned using a soft cloth dampened with mild, non-abrasive soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the finish or alter the pigment over time.
