Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in green is designed for homeowners and interior decorators seeking a sophisticated, velvety matt finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is the high-quality, quick-drying formula that delivers professional results with minimal effort; however, users should note that the chalky finish is primarily suited for low-traffic indoor areas and requires careful cleaning to avoid burnishing the surface.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

No, this formula is intended for dry interior rooms and is not suitable for bathrooms or kitchens due to high humidity.

How many coats are typically needed?

Two coats are usually recommended to achieve full color depth and an even finish.

Is this paint safe for low-VOC requirements?

Yes, this formula is low VOC, making it suitable for indoor use with proper ventilation.

Can this be applied to wood or metal?

This product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for wood or metal surfaces.

How should I store the leftover paint?

Seal the lid tightly and store the tin in a cool, dry place, ensuring it does not freeze.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to level out properly.

Uneven color intensity

This is often caused by lack of thorough stirring; mix the paint deeply from the bottom of the can before starting.

Paint rubbing off during cleaning

The chalky finish is delicate. Use only a damp, lint-free cloth and avoid scrubbing the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, high-end chalky matt aesthetic
  • Fast drying time for efficient workflow

  • Excellent opacity and color depth
  • Easy application on both walls and ceilings

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-moisture or high-traffic areas

  • Limited to interior use only
  • Requires careful preparation of the surface for the best finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your walls are properly primed, especially if the surface is porous or previously painted in a contrasting color. Use a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in corners and a medium-pile roller for main surface areas. For care, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth if needed; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these will likely damage the delicate matt finish. Always stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed, and store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve shelf life.
