FAQs
What type of finish does this paint provide?
This is a vinyl matt emulsion paint, which provides a smooth, non-reflective, flat finish.
Is this paint suitable for all interior surfaces?
It is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for areas with high moisture or direct water contact like bathrooms or kitchens, unless specifically used in conjunction with appropriate primers and sealants. It is not suitable for exterior use.
How many coats of paint do I need?
For best results and optimal coverage, two coats are generally recommended. The high opacity may reduce the need for a primer on some surfaces.

Troubleshooting
Paint not covering imperfections effectively
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and filled. Apply a second, thicker coat and allow it to dry completely. For very dark or uneven surfaces, consider using a primer first.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the paint is stirred well before and during use. Apply with even strokes using a good quality roller or brush. Avoid overworking the paint and allow sufficient drying time between coats. Consider a mist coat on the first application if the surface is very porous.
Paint appears too thin or is dripping
Check that the paint has been stirred thoroughly. Do not over-thin the paint unless instructions specifically allow and recommend it. Use a roller that holds a good amount of paint and apply with consistent pressure. Ensure you are not overloading the brush or roller.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, a mist coat might be beneficial for the first application, especially on porous surfaces.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush, roller, or spray. Apply evenly and avoid overworking the paint. Two coats are generally recommended for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Test on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about compatibility with existing finishes or surfaces.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For the painted surface, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away light marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this may damage the matt finish.
