FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

No, this is a standard interior emulsion. High-moisture areas require a moisture-resistant formulation.

How many coats are typically required?

Two coats are recommended for a uniform, professional finish, especially over significant color changes.

Can I return this paint if the color is not what I expected?

No, because this product is mixed to order, it is excluded from return and refund policies.

Is this paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, it is specifically formulated for use on both walls and ceilings.

What is the best tool for application?

A medium-pile roller for walls and a quality synthetic brush for cutting in around edges.

How long does it take to dry?

It is quick-drying; however, allow 2-4 hours between coats depending on ambient room temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller streaks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and applying the paint in a 'W' or 'M' pattern, keeping the roller loaded to maintain a wet edge.

Paint not covering in one coat

High opacity does not guarantee single-coat coverage on dark or highly porous surfaces; apply a second coat once the first is fully dry.

Paint flaking shortly after application

This is likely due to improper surface preparation. Ensure all dust, grease, and loose debris are removed before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High opacity leads to superior coverage
  • Effective at masking minor surface imperfections
  • Provides a modern, flat matt aesthetic
  • Easy application due to excellent paint flow
  • Durable enough for busy interior environments

Cons

  • Non-returnable as it is mixed to order
  • Matt finishes can be more difficult to clean than silk or gloss
  • Not suitable for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If applying over previously painted surfaces, sand the area lightly to provide a key for the new coat. This paint is compatible with standard primer/undercoat systems if necessary on bare or porous substrates. For storage, keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry area away from frost. If the paint is thinned slightly with water for application over porous surfaces, ensure the consistency remains appropriate for your chosen tool. Always stir thoroughly before use to ensure the color pigment is properly distributed.
