Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this paint be used in bathrooms?

While the paint is durable and dirt-resistant, it is primarily designed for standard interior walls and ceilings; ensure the room is well-ventilated to prevent excess moisture buildup.

Does this paint require a primer?

Priming is recommended for bare wood, metal, or highly absorbent surfaces to ensure maximum adhesion and an even colour finish.

How many coats are typically needed?

For most surfaces, two coats will provide excellent coverage and the desired depth of colour.

Is the Hartlake Blue suitable for painting furniture?

Yes, it is suitable for furniture, but ensure the surface is properly sanded and primed to allow the water-based formula to bond correctly.

What is the gloss level of this paint?

This paint features a true flat matt finish with less than 3% gloss level.

Is it safe for use in bedrooms?

Yes, its low VOC and low odour formulation make it an excellent choice for bedrooms and nurseries.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint; apply a second coat if necessary once the first is fully dry.

Uneven finish on porous walls

Apply a dedicated water-based primer/sealer before painting to create an even substrate that prevents the paint from absorbing inconsistently.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely low VOC content for a healthier home environment
  • High-quality pigment longevity resistant to fading
  • Multi-surface compatibility reduces the need for different paint types
  • Durable enough to be cleaned without compromising the finish
  • Sophisticated deep blue matt aesthetic

Cons

  • Higher initial cost due to eco-friendly raw materials
  • May require more coats on raw or highly porous surfaces
  • Flat matt finishes can be more susceptible to burnishing if scrubbed too hard

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best adhesion, clean all surfaces thoroughly to remove dust, grease, or loose debris. For raw wood or metal surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended before application to guarantee long-term stability.

Application Tips:

  1. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to redistribute pigments.
  2. Use a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in.
  3. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing for the recommended drying time between layers.

Care:

If the surface needs cleaning, wait at least 7 days for the paint to fully cure. Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the flat matt finish.
