Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

While this is a durable matte emulsion, it is not specifically formulated for high-moisture or steam-heavy environments. Consider a specialized kitchen/bathroom paint for those areas.

How many coats are usually required?

Typically, two coats are recommended for full opacity and an even color finish.

Is this paint wipeable?

Yes, it is formulated to be wipeable, allowing for gentle cleaning of surface marks.

Can I apply this over silk paint?

You should lightly sand the silk finish first to provide a key for the matte paint to adhere to, or use a high-quality bonding primer.

What is the best way to clean my brushes?

Since this is water-based, simply rinse your brushes thoroughly in warm, soapy water until the water runs clear.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are keeping a 'wet edge' while painting and do not over-spread the paint too thinly.

Paint flaking off

This is often due to applying paint over a dirty or powdery surface. Clean the wall thoroughly and use a suitable primer if the substrate is unstable.

Slow drying time

High humidity or low temperatures can delay drying. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and avoid painting in very cold conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Minimizes minor surface imperfections
  • Easy to apply with a smooth finish
  • Durable and wipeable for high-traffic areas
  • Provides professional-grade coverage

Cons

  • Matte finish shows scuffs more than gloss variants
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion
  • Not intended for high-moisture areas like shower enclosures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If painting over new plaster, apply a mist coat (thinned paint) first to seal the surface.

  • Application: Use a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in and a medium-pile roller for larger surfaces.
  • Temperature: Apply in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C for optimal drying.
  • Cleanup: Wash tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
  • Storage: Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from frost.
