Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint 2.5L - Grey

A 2.5L can of Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint typically covers approximately 25 square meters with a single coat, depending on the porosity and texture of the surface. Always check the label for specific coverage rates.

While it can be used, this paint is not specifically formulated for high-humidity environments. For optimal performance and durability in bathrooms and kitchens, we recommend using Crown's specialized Kitchen & Bathroom paints, which offer enhanced moisture and mould resistance.

This paint is typically touch dry in 2-4 hours and can be recoated after 4 hours. However, full hardness and durability may take longer (up to several days). Ensure proper drying time between coats and before placing furniture against walls.

For most previously painted surfaces in good condition, a primer is not necessary. However, for new plaster, bare surfaces, or surfaces with significant colour changes, a suitable primer or a diluted 'mist coat' of this paint (10% water) is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish.

As a matt emulsion, it can be gently wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the delicate matt finish and leave shiny patches. For more durable, washable surfaces, consider paints with a sheen (like silk or satin).

The 'Breatheasy' formula refers to Crown's commitment to using carefully selected raw materials that are virtually odour-free, making the painting process more pleasant and minimizing lingering paint smells in your home.

Ensure the surface was clean and smooth before painting. Apply paint evenly, maintaining a wet edge. Allow adequate drying time between coats and apply a second coat if necessary, ensuring consistent thickness.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during use. Check if the surface is highly porous (e.g., new plaster); if so, apply a mist coat (paint diluted with 10% water) first or a dedicated primer/sealer.

This typically indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of loose material before painting. Scrape off peeling paint, sand, clean, and re-prime before repainting.

Check room temperature and humidity; paint dries best in moderate conditions with good ventilation. Ensure you are not applying coats too thickly. Provide ample airflow by opening windows.

Lighting significantly impacts how paint colours appear. View the painted surface in different lighting conditions (natural daylight, artificial light). Also, ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred, as pigments can settle.
