FAQs
How many coats of paint will I need?
Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and colour depth, especially when painting over a contrasting colour. However, lighter colours or well-prepared surfaces may require fewer, while darker or significantly contrasting colours might need three.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is typically touch dry within 2-4 hours, but always allow at least 4 hours (or as directed on the packaging) before applying a second coat. Full cure can take several days.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
This paint is designed for indoor walls and ceilings in general living areas. For high-humidity environments like bathrooms and kitchens, we recommend using a specific 'kitchen & bathroom' paint that offers enhanced moisture and mould resistance.
Is this paint washable?
While durable, matt emulsion paints are generally less washable than silk or satin finishes. Gentle wiping with a soft, damp cloth is recommended for light marks, but harsh scrubbing should be avoided as it may burnish the finish.
What kind of surfaces can I paint with this product?
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces.
Do I need to use a primer?
A primer is highly recommended for new plaster, very porous surfaces, or when painting over a very dark or stained surface to ensure even absorption, adhesion, and true colour. For previously painted surfaces in good condition, a primer may not be necessary.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and smooth. Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller, avoiding overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint not covering well or looking patchy
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply sufficient paint in each coat, and ensure the previous coat is completely dry before applying the next. For dark colours, more coats may be needed.
Flaking or peeling paint
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, sound, and free from loose material before painting. Priming new or porous surfaces can also help adhesion.
Noticeable odor despite 'Breatheasy' claim
While 99% solvent-free, some faint odor may still be detectable, especially to sensitive individuals. Ensure thorough ventilation in the room by opening windows and doors during and after painting.

Setup & Surface Preparation Apply only to clean, dry, and sound surfaces. Remove any loose or flaking paint, wallpaper, or plaster. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are clean and free from grease or dirt. For new plaster or absorbent surfaces, dilute the first coat with a small amount of water (refer to packaging for exact ratio) to act as a 'mist coat' or use a suitable primer. Stir the paint thoroughly before use and periodically during application to ensure uniform colour and consistency. ## Compatibility This paint is designed for indoor walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard wall and ceiling surfaces including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces. ## Care & Maintenance - Application Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. - Spills: Wipe up any spills or drips promptly with a damp cloth before the paint dries. - Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying out. - Cleaning Painted Surfaces: For general cleaning, gently wipe the painted surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the matt finish.
