FAQs

How much paint will I need?

Coverage is typically around 13 square meters per liter, but this can vary depending on the surface porosity. Calculate the area to be painted and purchase sufficient paint, plus a little extra for touch-ups.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it's suitable for most interior spaces, consider using a paint specifically designed for bathrooms due to the higher moisture levels.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, often dry to the touch in 2-4 hours. However, allow at least 4 hours between coats.

What tools do I need to apply the paint?

You'll need a brush or roller, a paint tray, and possibly a paint kettle or container for pouring. Also, consider painter's tape to protect trim and edges.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry completely.

Can I apply this paint over wallpaper?

It is generally not recommended to paint over wallpaper as the paint may not adhere well. It's best to remove the wallpaper first.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once fully cured, the paint is scrub-resistant, allowing for easy cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering the surface evenly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply a second coat, allowing the first to dry completely.

Paint appears to be running or dripping.

Apply thinner coats and avoid overloading the brush or roller. Address any sags immediately.

The finish is not as glossy as expected.

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly before use. Check the application technique and consider using a high-quality roller or brush.

Paint is flaking or peeling.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, remove any loose paint or wallpaper, and apply primer if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Clean the surface to remove dirt, grease, and loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
  2. Priming: If painting over a previously painted surface, priming is usually not necessary. However, if painting over bare plaster or a significantly different color, a primer is recommended.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply the paint evenly using a brush or roller.

Compatibility

  • Suitable for use on most interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces.
  • Ensure compatibility with any existing coatings by testing in an inconspicuous area.

Care

  • Allow the paint to fully cure (as per manufacturer's instructions) before cleaning.
  • Clean the painted surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • For stubborn marks, gently scrub the surface.
