FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

This emulsion is intended for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for high-moisture, high-traffic, or high-humidity areas like kitchens or bathrooms.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but exact times can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity. Always refer to the can for specific touch-dry and recoat times.

Does this paint require a primer?

If applying to fresh plaster or porous surfaces, a primer is highly recommended to ensure even absorption and better adhesion.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

As this is a water-based emulsion, you can generally clean your brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after application.

What is the finish like?

The finish is a low-sheen, chalky matt, which provides a soft, sophisticated look that helps hide minor wall imperfections.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks or roller streaks

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap roller and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.

Poor adhesion to the surface

Check that the surface was properly cleaned and primed. If the surface was glossy, it may need light sanding to improve grip.

Color variation between areas

Always mix paint from different cans if doing a large room to ensure color consistency, and stir the paint periodically during use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a high-end, classic chalky matt aesthetic.
  • Quick-drying properties reduce project downtime.
  • Low VOC formula is better for home environments.
  • Excellent opacity simplifies the painting process.

Cons

  • Matte finish can be more difficult to clean than sheen-based paints.
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like full-bathrooms.
  • Requires careful preparation for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. If applying to bare plaster, use a suitable primer to ensure proper adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure consistent color dispersion. For care, avoid harsh scrubbing; if a mark occurs, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot-clean the area. Due to the porous nature of the chalky finish, it is recommended to keep a small amount of leftover paint for minor touch-ups.
