Full details

FAQs

Can I use this tester pot to paint a small piece of furniture?

While technically possible, the 50ml tester is specifically formulated as a color matching tool and may not provide the same durability as a dedicated furniture paint.

Do I need a primer for the sample?

If you are painting the sample onto paper or card, no primer is needed. If testing directly on a wall, ensure the surface is clean and dry.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Touch-dry times are generally short, but it is best to wait at least 1-2 hours between coats for optimal results.

Is this paint environmentally friendly?

Craig & Rose 1829 chalky emulsions are water-based, making them easier to clean and generally lower in VOCs than traditional solvent-based paints.

Can I buy a full-sized can if I like the sample?

Yes, once you have confirmed the color works in your space, you can purchase the full-sized 1829 Chalky Emulsion in your required volume.

Troubleshooting

The color looks different than expected on the wall.

Apply a white base coat or use a separate card swatch; existing wall colors often bleed through and distort the new color.

The paint appears patchy after one coat.

Always apply two coats for a full, uniform finish; the chalky emulsion requires the second layer to achieve its signature flat matt depth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows for risk-free color matching in your own home lighting
  • High-quality, super flat matt finish
  • Compact and easy to store for later reference
  • Authentic representation of the 1829 pigment range

Cons

  • Limited volume for large-scale surface testing
  • Requires careful preparation to ensure accurate color perception
  • Paint texture may appear different on paper than directly on wall substrates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional test, use a clean, white-primed surface for your swatch. Apply the first coat, allow it to dry completely, then apply the second coat to achieve full opacity and depth. Keep your sample in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being used for evaluation. Because this is a water-based emulsion, ensure your brushes are cleaned immediately with warm, soapy water after use to maintain their condition for future projects.
