Product Information

Full details

The Evelyn Grant All-In-One Paint & Primer is designed for homeowners seeking a professional, durable finish across multiple surfaces with a single product. Its key benefit is its versatility as both a paint and primer, saving time and effort. A potential consideration is that advanced application techniques might require specific primer types for certain challenging surfaces, though its formulation aims for broad compatibility. This water-based emulsion is engineered in the UK for interior and exterior use, suitable for walls, ceilings, wood, furniture, doors, and even masonry and concrete.

FAQs

Can this paint be used on metal surfaces?

While engineered for a wide range of surfaces, direct application on unprimed, bare metal, especially in exterior or high-moisture environments, is not recommended without a suitable metal primer for optimal adhesion and rust prevention.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times can vary. Typically, it is touch-dry in 1-2 hours and recoatable in 2-4 hours. Full curing can take several days. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity may extend these times.

What is the best way to clean brushes and rollers after use?

Clean all application tools thoroughly with water immediately after use. Dried paint can be difficult to remove.

Is this paint suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways?

Yes, its durable formulation makes it suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including high-traffic areas. For maximum longevity, ensure proper surface preparation and consider two coats.

Does this paint have a strong odour?

As a water-based emulsion, it has a lower odour compared to solvent-based paints. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying for the best experience.

Can I paint over existing oil-based paint with this product?

Yes, but it is crucial to prepare the surface properly. Lightly sand the existing oil-based paint to create a key for adhesion and ensure it is clean and free of dust before applying the Evelyn Grant All-In-One Paint.

What finishes are available?

The Evelyn Grant All-In-One Paint & Primer is available in multiple finishes, including Matt, Eggshell, Satin, and Gloss, to suit various aesthetic preferences and functional requirements.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or peeling

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. Glossy surfaces may require sanding. Check for any contaminants like oil or dust. Reapply after ensuring thorough surface preparation.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is adequately stirred. Apply thin, even coats using a quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Mould reappears after painting

Clean affected area thoroughly to remove existing mould. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. For persistent issues, consider a specific mould-inhibiting primer before applying the All-in-One paint.

Paint is too thick or difficult to spread

Stir the paint thoroughly. If the paint is excessively thick due to storage conditions, ensure it is at room temperature. Avoid adding water unless explicitly recommended by the manufacturer for specific application methods like spraying, and do so sparingly.

Colour does not match expectation

Ensure you are using the correct colour code. Colours can appear different under various lighting conditions and on different surfaces. Test a small, inconspicuous area first. If painting a large area, ensure all paint from the same batch is used.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces painting time and complexity by combining primer and paint.
  • Cost-effective due to eliminating the need for separate primer purchases.
  • Versatile application on numerous materials simplifies project planning.
  • Enhanced durability and protection against moisture and mould in critical areas.
  • Good for both indoor and outdoor projects, offering a consistent look.
  • Available in a wide palette of colours and finishes to match design needs.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient adhesion on extremely glossy or difficult-to-prime surfaces without proper preparation.
  • Water-based paints can sometimes require more coats for full opacity compared to certain oil-based alternatives.
  • The specific finish and durability may vary slightly depending on the surface preparation and application method.
  • Extended drying times can occur in humid or cool conditions, impacting project timelines.
  • While versatile, specialized coatings might be preferred for extreme conditions or highly specific material requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For very porous or chalky surfaces, a dedicated primer might still be beneficial.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings, wood (furniture, doors, skirting boards), kitchen cupboards, bathroom surfaces, exterior masonry, render, stone, concrete, sheds, and fences. Avoid direct contact with food surfaces.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. Two coats are generally recommended for best results, especially when changing colour significantly or painting over dark colours. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer's recommendations, typically 2-4 hours.

Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For painted surfaces, clean gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the finish. Ensure good ventilation during and after application.
