FAQs

Do I really not need a separate primer?

For most standard interior and exterior surfaces that are clean and sound, this product acts as both a paint and primer. However, for very challenging surfaces like unpainted plaster, dark stains, or very glossy finishes, a separate primer or a mist coat may still be beneficial for optimal adhesion and coverage.

What kind of finishes are available?

Evelyn Grant All-In-One Paint & Primer is available in a range of finishes including matt, eggshell, satin, and gloss, allowing you to choose the look that best suits your project.

Can I use this on radiators?

While designed for multi-surface use, it is generally recommended to use heat-resistant paint specifically formulated for radiators. Check the product's technical data sheet for specific guidance on high-heat applications.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Typically, it is touch-dry within 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours. Always refer to the specific product packaging for the most accurate drying times.

Is this paint suitable for children's furniture or toys?

This paint is engineered for home finishes. For items that are frequently mouthed or heavily chewed by children, it's advisable to check for specific safety certifications related to toy or nursery furniture paints.

How many square meters does one litre cover?

Coverage rates can vary based on surface porosity and application method. Generally, expect coverage of approximately 10-12 square meters per litre per coat. Always check the product label for precise coverage information.

Can I use this paint outdoors on wood?

Yes, Evelyn Grant All-In-One Paint is suitable for exterior wood surfaces such as sheds and fences, providing a durable, weatherproof finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well or peeling

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from dust or grease. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application. The surface may not have been adequately prepared, or a mist coat might be needed for porous materials.

Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for emulsion paints. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Poor coverage on dark or stained surfaces

A priming coat, even with an all-in-one product, may be necessary for drastic colour changes or persistent stains. Apply a mist coat or a dedicated primer if standard application is insufficient.

Mould growth reappearing in bathrooms

While the paint has anti-mould properties, ensure adequate ventilation in the bathroom. Address any underlying moisture issues, such as leaks or poor airflow, as the paint can only inhibit, not eliminate, the cause of mould.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces project time by eliminating the need for a separate primer.
  • Versatile across numerous interior and exterior surfaces, simplifying paint choices.
  • Provides a tough, durable finish that resists wear and tear.
  • Offers specific protection against mould and condensation in damp environments.
  • Available in a wide range of stylish colours and finishes.

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for optimal adhesion and finish.
  • May require multiple coats on very dark or heavily stained surfaces.
  • Can be more expensive per litre than standard paints without primer.
  • Water-based formula might not offer the same extreme durability as some oil-based finishes for high-traffic industrial areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is Key: For best results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For heavily stained or porous surfaces, a mist coat (a thinned first coat) may be beneficial.

Compatibility: This paint is designed for a wide range of surfaces including plaster, drywall, wood, metal (properly primed), previously painted surfaces, masonry, render, brick, stone, and concrete. It is not recommended for use on plastics or highly flexible surfaces without specific preparation.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray gun. Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats, as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For maintaining the painted surface, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
