Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose Tintern Stone Chalky Matt Emulsion Paint is an excellent choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a sophisticated, mineral-rich finish on interior walls, ceilings, and furniture. Its key benefit is a highly durable, 3% sheen 'dead flat' matt appearance that hides surface imperfections while providing superior wash and rub resistance compared to standard flat paints. A minor caveat is that fresh, porous plaster requires a dedicated primer before application to ensure consistent results and proper adhesion.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

While it features enhanced wash and rub resistance, it is primarily designed for general interior walls and ceilings. Use in high-humidity areas should be monitored for moisture buildup.

How many coats are typically required?

For best results, apply two coats, allowing at least 4 hours of drying time between applications.

Is this paint suitable for direct application on bare plaster?

No, new dry plaster should always be primed with a suitable wall primer before applying this emulsion to ensure proper adhesion.

Can I use this on metal surfaces?

This paint is formulated for interior walls, ceilings, and wood furniture. It is not recommended for metal.

What is the sheen level of this paint?

This paint features a 'dead flat' matt finish with a 3% sheen level.

How do I clean brushes used with this paint?

Cleanup is straightforward; simply wash your brushes and rollers with clean water immediately after application.

Troubleshooting

Paint is absorbing too quickly into the wall

The surface is likely porous. Thin the paint with 5-10% clean water or apply a dedicated primer-undercoat first.

Visible streaks or brush marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and applying in consistent strokes, maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting.

Uneven finish on furniture

Ensure the furniture is sanded lightly to provide a key for adhesion and always seal the final paint job with a clear wax or furniture varnish.

Pros and Cons

Sophisticated, low-sheen aesthetic
Enhanced resistance to washing and rubbing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before you begin, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For new, dry plaster surfaces, you must prime the wall first using a Craig & Rose Primer Undercoat or a similar high-quality wall primer. If you find the paint feels too thick or the surface is highly porous, you may thin the paint slightly with 5-10% clean water to improve flow and prevent excessive suction. To achieve the best results, always apply two full coats. For tool maintenance, wash brushes and rollers thoroughly with water immediately after use to prevent the paint from hardening on the bristles.
