FAQs

What type of finish does this paint provide?

This paint provides a flat matt finish, which helps to disguise minor surface imperfections and creates a smooth, non-reflective appearance.

Can I use this paint on wood or metal?

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for use on wood or metal surfaces.

How many coats of paint do I need?

The number of coats depends on the surface being painted and the existing color. The paint offers excellent coverage, and often fewer coats are needed, but a second coat may be required for significant color changes or to achieve maximum opacity.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While it can be used on interior walls, the matt finish may not be as durable or easy to clean as a silk or satin finish in high-moisture or high-traffic areas like bathrooms and kitchens. It is best suited for living areas and bedrooms.

What does 'Low VOC' mean for this paint?

Low VOC means the paint contains a low level of Volatile Organic Compounds, which are chemicals that can be released into the air. This contributes to better indoor air quality during and after application.

Why can't I return this paint?

This product is mixed to order, meaning it is specifically tinted or prepared for your purchase. Therefore, it cannot be returned or refunded unless faulty.

How should I clean my tools after using this paint?

Clean brushes, rollers, and other equipment with water immediately after use before the paint has a chance to dry.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in consistent strokes and consider a second coat if necessary after the first has fully dried.

Drying time seems longer than expected

Drying times can be affected by humidity and temperature. Ensure the room is well-ventilated but avoid application in very cold or damp conditions. Check the product tin for specific recoat times.

Brush marks are visible

Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller. Avoid over-working the paint and ensure consistent application direction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand down any rough patches. Apply a suitable primer if necessary, especially on new plaster or previously painted surfaces with significant color differences.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller, working in a consistent direction. Avoid over-spreading. For best results, apply a second coat if required, allowing the first coat to dry completely (check tin for recoat times).

Compatibility:

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard interior wall surfaces.

Care:

Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. For cleaning decorated surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the matt finish.
