Crown Matt Emulsion Paint 5L - Toasted Almond

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
