FAQs

How many coats of paint do I need?

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and finish. However, the exact number can depend on the colour and the existing surface.

Can I use Berger Matt Emulsion in a bathroom or kitchen?

While suitable for most interior spaces, for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, consider using a paint specifically designed for those environments.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times can vary depending on conditions, but typically, it takes 2-4 hours to dry to the touch and a longer time for recoating.

What kind of roller or brush should I use?

Use a roller or brush designed for emulsion paint. A medium-nap roller is usually suitable for smooth walls, while a longer nap is better for textured surfaces.

How do I clean paint spills?

Clean up spills immediately with a damp cloth and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Can I paint over wallpaper?

It is generally not recommended to paint directly over wallpaper. Remove the wallpaper and prepare the surface properly before painting.

What is the coverage of Berger Matt Emulsion?

Coverage can vary depending on the surface and application method, but typically, you can expect to cover approximately 12-14 square meters per litre.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared. Apply a primer if necessary.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Apply paint evenly, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling. Use a high-quality brush or roller.

Paint is peeling.

Ensure the surface is completely dry before applying subsequent coats. Remove any loose paint and re-prepare the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, and dirt. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth.
  2. Priming: If painting over a previously painted surface, a primer may be required, particularly if the existing paint is glossy or dark.
