Full details
This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professional decorators seeking a reliable interior paint for walls and ceilings. The key benefit is its excellent coverage and smooth, matt finish that effectively hides imperfections, often requiring fewer coats. A significant caveat is that this product is mixed to order and therefore non-returnable.

FAQs
Can this paint be used on wood or metal?
This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. For wood or metal surfaces, a different type of paint with appropriate primers would be necessary.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint typically dries to the touch within 1-2 hours, with recoating possible after 2-4 hours, depending on ventilation and ambient temperature.
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
The coverage is excellent, typically around 10-12 square meters per liter, though this can vary depending on the surface texture and porosity.
Is this paint washable?
Due to its matt finish, it is best to wipe gently with a damp cloth. It is not designed for heavy scrubbing like silk or satin finishes, which can damage the surface.
Can I return this paint if I change my mind?
No, this product is mixed to order to your specified color and cannot be returned or refunded unless faulty.
What does 'Low VOC' mean?
Low VOC indicates that the paint contains a reduced amount of Volatile Organic Compounds, which are chemicals that can evaporate into the air and may affect indoor air quality.
How should I store leftover paint?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is securely fastened to prevent drying out.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or streaky.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, you can add a small amount of water (up to 10%) for easier application, especially for the first coat.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible.
Ensure you are not over-spreading the paint. Apply in even strokes and maintain a wet edge. Allow adequate drying time before applying a second coat.
Paint is not covering the previous color well.
While coverage is excellent, very dark or vibrant previous colors may require a third coat or a primer specifically designed for covering difficult shades.
Tools are difficult to clean after use.
Clean all brushes, rollers, and trays immediately after painting with warm, soapy water before the paint dries.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may be required. Apply a suitable primer if painting over wallpaper or very porous surfaces.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush, roller, or spray. Use even strokes and avoid over-spreading. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Use in a well-ventilated area.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Ideal for use over previously painted surfaces (ensure compatibility with existing coatings) and new plaster.
Care: Clean application tools (brushes, rollers) immediately after use with warm soapy water. Wipe down walls gently with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish.
