Product Information
Full details
This premium Craig & Rose paint is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a vibrant, long-lasting finish for both interior and exterior surfaces. Its standout benefit is its exceptional pigment saturation and superior coverage, which minimizes the need for multiple coats. However, users should note that the bold orange tone requires careful surface preparation to ensure the color remains true and uniform across different textures.

FAQs
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
Yes, provided the area is well-ventilated and the surface is properly primed against moisture.
How long does it take to dry?
Touch dry time is typically 2-4 hours, but we recommend waiting at least 6-8 hours before applying a second coat.
Does this paint require a primer?
While the paint has excellent coverage, a primer is recommended if you are painting over a very dark color or an unsealed, porous surface.
Is this paint water-based or oil-based?
This paint features a modern, high-performance formulation designed for easy cleanup with water.
How should I store leftover paint?
Store in the original container in a cool place, ensuring the lid is pushed down firmly. Turn the container upside down for a few seconds to create a seal.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears patchy after the first coat
This is common with vibrant colors; apply a second coat after the recommended drying time to achieve full opacity.
Visible roller marks
Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.
Paint not adhering to the surface
Check that the surface is completely clean and dry. If the surface is glossy or porous, sand it lightly or apply a dedicated primer before painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are properly suspended. Use a synthetic brush for corners and a medium-nap roller for large flat surfaces. This paint is compatible with most standard wall materials including drywall, wood, and masonry. For maintenance, clean the finished surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can degrade the vibrancy of the pigment over time. Store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
