Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While the finish is durable, this specific product is designed for standard interior walls and ceilings. For high-humidity bathrooms, a dedicated kitchen and bathroom paint is generally recommended.

How many coats do I need?

For optimal coverage and the best finish, two coats are typically recommended, though one coat may suffice over a similar existing colour.

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, its low-odour formula makes it suitable for use throughout the home, though it should be allowed to dry and ventilate thoroughly before occupying the room.

Does this paint require a primer?

If you are painting over bare plaster or a significantly different colour, a primer or undercoat is highly recommended to ensure uniform adhesion and colour payoff.

How do I store leftover paint?

Clean the rim of the can to ensure a perfect seal, replace the lid securely, and store in a cool, frost-free environment away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack.

Paint is peeling or flaking

This often indicates the surface was not properly cleaned or primed before application; sand the area and ensure it is dust-free before repainting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a smooth, silky aesthetic
  • Excellent light-reflecting qualities
  • Highly durable and easy to scrub clean
  • Fast drying time minimizes project disruption

Cons

  • High sheen may highlight wall imperfections
  • Not suitable for exterior use
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For best results on bare plaster, apply a suitable primer first. Use a synthetic brush for corners and edges, and a medium-pile roller for larger wall areas to achieve the best finish. Maintain the paint by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth when cleaning; avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the sheen over time. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out between projects.
