FAQs

Can I use this paint outdoors?

No, this paint is specifically formulated for interior use. Hemway Exterior Paint should be used for all outdoor projects.

Does this paint require a primer?

In most cases, no. It is designed to be applied directly over existing paint or varnish, provided the surface is clean and dry.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint typically dries in 1-2 hours, though we recommend waiting 2 hours before applying a subsequent coat.

Is this product safe for children's rooms?

Yes, the formula is non-toxic, low VOC, and meets BS EN71-3 and ASTM F963-17 safety standards.

Can I add glitter to this paint?

Yes, you can enhance the finish by adding Hemway Glitter Paint Additive for a unique effect.

How do I ensure the best durability in a busy hallway?

For high-traffic areas, you may apply Hemway Clear Lacquer over the dried paint to provide an extra layer of protection.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface is completely free of wax, oil, or cleaning residue. If the surface is particularly glossy, a light rub-down with fine-grit sandpaper may help.

Uneven finish or streaks

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly for two minutes and use high-quality rollers or brushes. Avoid over-working the paint once it has begun to tack up.

Paint showing through in spots

This is likely due to uneven application or underlying surface stains. Apply a second coat, ensuring an even layer across the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best finish, begin by ensuring your surfaces are clean, dry, and free from any contaminants like grease or wax.

  1. Preparation: While the paint adheres well over existing paint and varnish, wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust.
  2. Mixing: Use a spatula to stir the paint thoroughly for at least two minutes to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed.
  3. Application: Apply using standard professional brushes or rollers. If you are using stencils or masking tape to create patterns, the quick-drying nature of the paint allows for faster removal of tape edges.
  4. Drying: Allow each coat to dry for at least two hours before applying a second coat.
  5. Care: Clean tools with water immediately after use. If applying to high-traffic zones, consider a clear protective lacquer after the final coat has fully cured.
