Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint - Raspberry Souffle - Pink

Info needed: While specific coverage can vary, a 2.5L can of matt emulsion typically covers approximately 25-30 square meters with one coat, depending on the surface porosity and application method. Always check the product label for precise coverage information.

For most previously painted, sound surfaces, priming may not be necessary. However, for new plaster, bare surfaces, or when painting over a very dark or glossy finish, applying a suitable primer or a mist coat (diluted paint) is recommended for best adhesion and an even finish.

Info needed: This paint is typically touch dry in 2-4 hours. Allow 4 hours before applying a second coat. Full hardness and washability may take longer, usually several days.

This Crown Matt Emulsion Paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. For wooden trim or doors, it is best to use a paint specifically designed for wood, such as a wood-specific emulsion, eggshell, or satin paint, for better durability and adhesion.

The 'Breatheasy® formula' indicates that the paint has a low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content, making it virtually odour-free. This provides a more comfortable painting experience and is often a better choice for indoor air quality.

Matt emulsion paints, while durable, are generally less washable than silk or sheen finishes. You can typically wipe marks gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, as this can 'burnish' or lighten the paint finish.

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply paint evenly, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling. Allow adequate drying time between coats and apply a second coat if needed.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed if necessary, especially when painting over very dark or vibrant colours. Apply additional coats, allowing full drying time between each.

Paint colours can vary slightly depending on lighting conditions and surrounding decor. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure the paint was thoroughly mixed to avoid colour separation.

While the paint is low odour, some individuals may still be sensitive. Ensure good ventilation in the room during and after painting. The odour should dissipate quickly.

This often occurs from applying paint too thickly. Use less paint on your brush or roller and apply in thinner, even coats. Ensure the surface is clean and not overly porous.
