FAQs
Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
While it is a durable emulsion, it is designed for general interior walls. For high-humidity areas, a specialized bathroom or kitchen paint with anti-mould properties is typically recommended.
Do I need a primer for this paint?
If you are painting over sound, previously painted walls, a primer is not strictly necessary. However, for new or porous plaster, a mist coat is required.
How many coats are usually required?
Due to its high opacity, two coats are generally sufficient to achieve a full, even finish on most surfaces.
How do I clean my painting tools?
Because this is a water-based paint, simply wash your brushes and rollers thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
What kind of undertone does Vintage Denim have?
Vintage Denim is a deep, muted navy blue with a distinct cornflower blue undertone.
Can this paint be used on woodwork?
No, this is formulated specifically for interior walls and ceilings. Use a dedicated trim or wood paint for doors, skirting boards, and frames.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks or patchy finish
Ensure you are applying enough paint to the roller and maintaining a wet edge while working across the wall.
Paint peeling shortly after application
Check that the surface was properly cleaned and free of grease or dust before painting; ensure no moisture was trapped underneath.
Flash rusting or discoloration
Ensure that the wall substrate is fully sealed, especially on new plaster, using a suitable primer or mist coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material before starting. If the wall is new plaster, it is essential to apply a mist coat or appropriate primer first to prevent the substrate from soaking up the paint too quickly. During application, maintain a consistent "wet edge" to avoid roller marks. For care, avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads on the finished surface; a damp, soft cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning minor scuffs or dirt from the washable matt surface.
