FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While washable, for high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens, paints specifically designed with enhanced moisture and mould resistance are generally recommended. This paint is best for living rooms, bedrooms, and offices.

How many coats do I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and durability. However, this can vary depending on the original surface colour and desired finish.

Can I use this paint on woodwork or metal?

This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings (plaster, concrete, brick). It is not recommended for woodwork or metal surfaces, which require different types of primers and paints.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Since this is a water-based paint, tools can be cleaned immediately after use with warm soapy water.

What does "low odour" mean?

"Low odour" means the paint produces significantly fewer fumes and a milder smell compared to traditional solvent-based paints, making it more pleasant to work with indoors.

How long should I wait before cleaning a freshly painted wall?

While the paint is washable, it's best to allow it to fully cure for at least 7-14 days before attempting any cleaning to ensure maximum durability and prevent damage to the finish.

Can I use a paint sprayer with this product?

Info needed: While many water-based paints can be sprayed, specific thinning ratios and sprayer compatibility information would be required for optimal results. Always consult the product's technical data sheet or manufacturer instructions for spray application.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears uneven or patchy after drying.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Apply additional thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between each. Consistent stirring of the paint is also crucial.

Paint is not drying within the stated time.

Check the room temperature and humidity; high humidity or low temperatures can prolong drying times. Ensure good ventilation. Avoid applying overly thick coats, as these take longer to dry.

Poor coverage, requiring more paint than expected.

Verify that the surface was not overly porous, which can absorb more paint. A primer can help seal porous surfaces. Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred to distribute pigments evenly. Apply even coats.
