FAQs
Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?
This is designed for general interior use; consult the technical data sheet to see if it is rated for high-moisture environments.
Do I need a primer?
While not strictly required on pre-painted surfaces, a primer is highly recommended for red paint to ensure colour uniformity and vibrancy.
How many coats should I apply?
For optimal coverage and colour depth, two coats are typically recommended.
How long does it take to dry?
Touch dry time is usually a few hours, but allow at least 24 hours for the paint to cure completely before cleaning or hanging heavy items.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean tools with warm, soapy water immediately after application before the paint dries.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks or streaks
Ensure you are using a high-quality roller nap and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.
Paint looks patchy or transparent
This is common with deep red pigments; apply a second coat and ensure the first coat is fully dry before proceeding.
Paint dripping or running
Avoid overloading the brush or roller; apply thinner, multiple layers rather than one heavy, saturated layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application. If applying over fresh plaster, use a dedicated mist coat or primer to prevent the paint from soaking in unevenly. Compatibility is broadest with standard interior wall materials like drywall, plaster, and wood. For care, avoid aggressive scrubbing for the first few weeks while the paint fully cures. Once cured, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary to remove surface stains without damaging the finish.
