Product Information
Full details
Craig & Rose White Paint is designed for homeowners and professional decorators who require a high-quality, reliable finish for interior or exterior surfaces. Its primary benefit lies in its exceptional opacity and superior coverage, which minimizes the number of coats required for a professional look. However, users should note that as a high-pigment formula, proper surface preparation is essential to ensure the longevity of the clean, crisp white finish.

FAQs
Can I use this paint for both walls and trim?
Yes, this paint is designed for versatility and can be used on a variety of interior and exterior surfaces.
How many coats are typically required?
Due to its high opacity, you can often achieve full coverage in two coats, depending on the color of the substrate beneath.
Is this paint suitable for humid areas like bathrooms?
While durable, always ensure the area is well-ventilated during and after application to allow for proper curing.
Do I need a primer before using this paint?
While the paint has excellent coverage, a primer is highly recommended if you are painting over a dark color or a porous surface.
How should I clean my brushes after use?
Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water if the paint is water-based, or check the specific label instructions for cleaning solvents.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky upon application
Ensure you are using a high-quality roller or brush and apply even, consistent pressure without over-working the paint.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface
Check the surface for dust, grease, or moisture; clean the area thoroughly and apply a suitable primer before repainting.
Bubbles forming in the finish
Avoid over-loading the brush or roller and apply at a moderate speed to prevent trapping air in the paint film.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If the surface is porous, apply a compatible primer to ensure uniform absorption. Use high-quality synthetic brushes or medium-nap rollers for the best finish.
To care for your painted surfaces, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. A simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient to remove surface dust. If you are storing leftover paint, ensure the lid is sealed tightly and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent skinning or drying out.
