FAQs
Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?
This paint is designed for interior use, but for high-humidity areas like bathrooms, ensure the room has adequate ventilation.
Can I use this paint on wood surfaces?
Yes, provided the wood has been properly sanded and primed with a suitable wood primer first.
How many coats are typically required?
Generally, two coats are recommended for the best color depth and durability.
What is the recommended drying time?
It is recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 hours between coats, depending on ambient room temperature and humidity.
How should I store leftover paint?
Store in a cool, dry location with the lid securely fastened. Avoid freezing temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Paint is showing brush marks
Use a higher quality synthetic brush and ensure you are not over-working the paint as it begins to dry.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify the surface was properly cleaned and primed. Old paint or grease residue will prevent proper bonding.
Finish is inconsistent or blotchy
Ensure the wall is sealed with a suitable primer, especially if the surface is porous like fresh drywall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the paint, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose debris. Use a high-quality primer if you are applying the paint over raw plaster or drastically different colors. For application, professional-grade synthetic brushes or a fine-nap microfiber roller are recommended for the best leveling. Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water to prolong their lifespan. Store any remaining paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the formula from drying out.
