Can I use this paint on shower walls?

Yes, this paint is water-resistant and suitable for shower walls, but ensure proper ventilation during application and drying.

How much paint do I need?

A 750ml tin provides excellent coverage, but the exact amount depends on the size of the tiled area and the number of coats applied.

It has a high-shine gloss finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the tiles.

Ensure the tile surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy tiles for better adhesion.

Paint is bubbling or peeling.

Make sure you mix the paint and activator correctly. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid applying too much paint at once.

The finish is not glossy.

Ensure the paint is fully cured. If the finish is still not glossy, check the mixing and application process. Make sure to apply the recommended number of coats.

The paint smells strong and lingers.

Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. The low-odor formula can be affected by poor ventilation.
