Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This paint is intended for interior walls and ceilings, but it is not specifically rated for high-moisture environments like bathrooms.

How many coats do I need?

We recommend applying two coats for the best color depth and finish durability.

How long should I wait between coats?

You should wait at least 4 hours before applying the second coat.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this product is strictly formulated for interior applications.

Can I use it on metal?

The paint is primarily designed for walls, ceilings, and wood furniture; it is not recommended for direct application on metal surfaces.

Do I need a primer on previously painted walls?

If the previous paint is in good condition and stable, a primer is generally not required, but light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Paint is soaking into the surface too quickly

The surface may be too porous. Thin the paint with 5-10% clean water to help with application or apply a primer first.

Finish looks uneven

Ensure you are using a quality roller or brush and apply two full, consistent coats rather than one thick coat.

Furniture finish is scuffing easily

The chalky emulsion requires a protective topcoat. Apply a clear furniture wax or varnish once the paint is fully dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, soft pinkish-white hue
  • Excellent hide and coverage for surface imperfections
  • More durable than typical flat matt paints
  • Versatile for both walls and furniture projects
  • Authentic historical color quality

Cons

  • Requires specific priming on new plaster
  • Furniture applications need a protective wax or varnish topcoat
  • Limited to interior use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For new plaster, it is mandatory to apply a coat of Craig & Rose Primer Undercoat or a similar high-quality wall primer to seal the surface. If you notice excessive suction on porous surfaces, the paint can be thinned by adding 5-10% clean water. Clean your tools thoroughly with water immediately after use. For maintenance, the enhanced wash resistance allows for gentle cleaning, though harsh chemicals should be avoided to preserve the integrity of the chalky matt finish.
