FAQs

What type of finish does this paint provide?

This paint provides a flat matt finish, which is non-reflective and helps to hide minor imperfections on walls and ceilings.

How many coats of paint are typically needed?

Coverage can vary based on the surface and the previous colour. This paint offers excellent coverage and often requires fewer coats than standard paints, potentially two coats for good results.

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

While suitable for general interior walls, vinyl matt finishes are best suited for lower-traffic areas. For kitchens and bathrooms with high humidity and potential for stains, a silk or vinyl soft sheen finish might be more durable and easier to clean.

Is this paint suitable for new plaster?

Yes, new plaster should be allowed to dry thoroughly and then mist-coated with diluted paint (e.g., 1 part water to 10 parts paint) before applying full coats.

What is the drying time?

The paint typically dries to the touch within 1-2 hours, but recoating time is usually 2-4 hours. Always refer to the specific instructions on the product container for precise drying times.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No, this product is mixed to order and is therefore non-returnable and non-refundable. Please ensure you have selected the correct colour and quantity before purchasing.

How should I clean up after painting?

Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately after use with warm water. Allow paint to fully cure on walls (approximately 7 days) before attempting to clean marks with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush or roller strokes. Check for surface imperfections that might be absorbing paint unevenly.

Paint is not covering the previous colour well.

This may indicate a need for an additional coat. Ensure the paint is applied at the recommended thickness. Consider using a primer if the previous colour is very dark or vibrant.

Brush marks or roller texture are too visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for matt finishes. Apply paint with consistent pressure and direction. Ensure the paint is not applied too thickly, which can lead to visible marks.

Paint is drying too quickly on the surface.

Work in smaller sections and ensure adequate ventilation but avoid direct drafts. If conditions are very warm, consider using a paint with a longer open time or a retarder additive designed for water-based paints (check compatibility).

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for interior walls and ceilings.
  • Ideal for use on plaster, drywall, previously painted surfaces, and lining paper.

Care:

  • Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water. Do not allow paint to dry on tools.
  • Storage: Store in the original container, tightly closed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost.
