FAQs

Can I use this paint in my kitchen?

It is not recommended for kitchens due to the matte finish being sensitive to grease and frequent cleaning.

How many coats do I need?

Two coats are generally recommended for full coverage and the best depth of color.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings only.

Does it have a strong odor?

Thanks to its low VOC formula, it has a minimal odor compared to traditional oil-based or high-VOC paints.

Can I use this on wood trim?

This paint is designed for walls and ceilings; for wood trim, an eggshell or satin finish is usually more durable.

Troubleshooting

Streaks visible after painting

Ensure you are not over-spreading the paint and maintain a 'wet edge' while rolling.

Uneven finish or 'flashing'

Ensure the wall surface is properly primed and sealed before applying the top coat.

Paint rubbing off when wiped

Allow the paint to fully cure for at least 7-14 days before attempting any cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, flat-matte finish hides wall defects well
  • Rapid drying time allows for faster project turnaround
  • Environmentally conscious low VOC formulation
  • Exceptional color richness for a premium look

Cons

  • Matte finish can be more prone to scuffing than glossier paints
  • Not suitable for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens
  • Requires careful surface preparation to ensure even application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over a porous surface, apply a suitable primer first to ensure an even finish. Use high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers designed for water-based emulsions to avoid streaking. For care and maintenance, avoid scrubbing the walls, as the matte finish may burnish or mark easily. If the wall needs cleaning, use a very soft, slightly damp cloth and gently blot the area rather than rubbing. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out between uses.
