Full details

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

This product is primarily designed for general interior walls and ceilings. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms, we recommend a specialized moisture-resistant finish.

How many coats will I need?

Due to its high-opacity, many users find two coats sufficient for a professional finish, though this depends on the color of the underlying surface.

Is this paint washable?

The matt finish is durable, but it is not as scrubbable as a silk or eggshell finish. Clean with a very gentle, damp cloth only.

Can I apply this over existing wallpaper?

Yes, provided the wallpaper is sound, firmly adhered, and a suitable emulsion-compatible type.

How long does it take to dry?

Under normal conditions, it is touch-dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours.

Troubleshooting

Streaky or uneven finish

Ensure you are using the correct roller sleeve pile and avoid over-spreading the paint. Apply a second coat once the first is fully dry.

Paint peeling or flaking

This is often caused by poor surface preparation. Ensure all old, loose paint is scraped away and the wall is primed before applying new paint.

Color mismatch

Always mix the entire batch if using multiple cans and ensure thorough stirring to prevent pigment settling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity reduces total paint usage
  • Professional-grade finish suitable for all rooms
  • Flat matt texture disguises surface blemishes
  • Fast-drying properties save time during multi-coat projects

Cons

  • Non-returnable due to being mixed to order
  • Requires careful preparation of the surface for optimal results
  • May require professional application techniques for perfectly even coverage on large areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If the wall is new or porous, apply a suitable primer first to prevent uneven absorption. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the Acai Berry pigment is fully incorporated. Apply with a brush or roller, maintaining a "wet edge" to avoid roller marks. Once dry, the paint is durable; however, clean it gently with a soft, damp cloth if needed, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the matt finish. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve shelf life.
