FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This Crown Matt Emulsion Paint is specifically formulated for use on interior walls and ceilings. It provides a beautiful, smooth finish suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and hallways.

How do I prepare the surface before painting?

For best results, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Fill any cracks or holes, sand down rough areas, and remove any loose or flaking paint. For new plaster or very absorbent surfaces, a suitable primer or a mist coat of diluted emulsion is recommended.

How many coats will I need?

Typically, one to two coats are sufficient to achieve the desired finish. The exact number may depend on the original color of the surface, the color you are painting over, and your desired depth of color.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Info needed: Please refer to the specific instructions on the paint can for precise touch dry and recoat times. Generally, water-based emulsions are touch dry within a few hours and ready for a second coat in 4-6 hours, but this can vary with temperature and humidity.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

This general-purpose matt emulsion is not typically recommended for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens. For these areas, it is advisable to use paints specifically formulated with enhanced durability and mould resistance.

How do I clean my painting tools?

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint is removed, then reshape bristles and allow to dry.

Is this paint suitable for direct application over wallpaper?

While technically possible, it is generally recommended to remove wallpaper for the best and most durable finish. If painting over wallpaper, ensure it is firmly adhered to the wall and prime it with a suitable sealer to prevent bubbling or staining.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or streaking after painting.

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and smooth before painting. Apply paint evenly with consistent pressure, avoiding overspreading. Use a good quality roller or brush appropriate for emulsion paint. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Poor coverage or color showing through after one coat.

Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure pigments are well-mixed. Ensure the surface is properly primed, especially if it's highly absorbent or you're doing a significant color change. Apply an adequate amount of paint per coat, avoiding stretching it too thin.

Paint is peeling or flaking from the wall.

This typically indicates insufficient surface preparation. Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of loose paint, dust, or grease before applying the new paint. Sanding glossy surfaces can also improve adhesion. For problematic areas, consider using a stabilising solution or a dedicated primer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a beautiful, smooth, non-reflective velvety finish.
  • Offers good coverage, potentially reducing the number of coats required.
  • Water-based formula ensures easy cleanup of brushes and rollers with water.
  • Low odor and low-allergen properties enhance comfort during painting.
  • Breathable formulation is beneficial for wall health and minimizes moisture entrapment.

Cons

  • Matt finish can be less durable and harder to clean compared to more robust finishes like silk or satin.
  • Requires diligent surface preparation for optimal adhesion and finish quality.
  • Not ideal for high-moisture environments such as bathrooms or kitchens unless specifically formulated for these areas.
  • Info needed: Specific drying and recoat times, which can affect project duration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation Before Painting

  1. Clear the Area: Remove furniture, cover floors with dust sheets, and mask off skirting boards, door frames, and windows.
  2. Clean Surfaces: Wash walls and ceilings with a suitable cleaner to remove dirt, grease, and dust. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
  3. Fill & Sand: Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler and sand smooth once dry. Remove sanding dust.
  4. Prime (if needed): For new plaster, porous surfaces, or very dark colors, apply a suitable primer or a diluted first coat of the emulsion to ensure even absorption and better adhesion.

Application Instructions

  1. Stir Paint: Open the can and stir the paint thoroughly with a stirring stick until it is uniform in consistency.
  2. First Coat: Use a brush to cut in around edges, corners, and fixtures. Then, use a roller to apply the paint to larger wall and ceiling areas, working in small sections and maintaining a wet edge.
  3. Drying Time: Info needed: Allow the first coat to dry for the recommended time (e.g., 2-4 hours touch dry, 4 hours for recoat) before applying the second coat.
  4. Second Coat: If necessary, apply a second coat following the same procedure for enhanced color depth and durability.

Tool Compatibility

This water-based emulsion is compatible with:

  • Good quality synthetic paint brushes.
  • Medium pile (e.g., 9-12mm) rollers for smooth to semi-smooth surfaces.

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: For light marks on matt surfaces, gently wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing as this can burnish the finish.
  • Storage: Store the remaining paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
  • Disposal: Dispose of unused paint and empty cans responsibly according to local regulations. Do not pour paint down drains.
