FAQs

How much area does the 75ml tester cover?

It is designed to cover an area of approximately 30cm square for testing purposes.

Can I use this for touch-ups?

While it is technically paint, the volume is very limited and it is formulated specifically for color testing rather than repair.

Is this paint washable?

This is a matt emulsion tester. For long-term durability on high-traffic walls, consider a full-sized durable paint product after testing.

Does it need a primer?

For a test patch on most standard interior walls, a primer is generally not required, though ensure the surface is clean.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within a few hours depending on ambient temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Paint looks streaky on the wall

Ensure the surface was cleaned of dust and grease prior to application; apply a second thin coat if necessary.

Color appears different than expected

Always view the dried sample in different lighting conditions, as ambient light significantly shifts the perception of beige tones.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for testing specific beige tones before purchasing large quantities
  • Provides a modern, professional matte finish
  • Effective at concealing minor surface blemishes
  • Easy to apply with minimal odour
  • Dries quickly for rapid color comparison

Cons

  • Small 75ml volume is only suitable for small test patches
  • Not intended for full wall coverage
  • Limited to one specific color per pot

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure the surface is dust-free and dry before applying your test patch. You can use a standard small brush or a mini-foam roller for even application. Once the test is complete, allow the paint to dry completely to view the true matte finish. Store the pot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight if you plan to keep it for a short duration. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and dispose of the container according to local environmental regulations once the testing is finished.
