FAQs

How many coats of paint are needed?

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability. However, the exact number may vary depending on the existing tile color and the desired finish.

Can I use this paint in a shower?

While the paint is water-resistant, it is not recommended for areas with constant water submersion, such as inside a shower. For those areas, consider using a paint specifically designed for those conditions.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The drying time is fast, typically allowing for recoating within a few hours. Always refer to the product label for specific drying times.

What kind of roller or brush should I use?

A brush or roller suitable for smooth surfaces is recommended. A high-quality brush or a foam roller can help achieve a smooth finish.

Is this paint mold resistant?

Yes, the formula is specifically designed to be mould and water-resistant, making it suitable for kitchens.

How do I calculate how much paint I need?

The 750ml tin covers a certain area, and this is specified on the tin. Measure the area you intend to paint, calculate the square footage, and compare with the coverage information on the product label.

What should I do if I make a mistake?

While the paint is durable, minor mistakes can often be corrected while the paint is still wet. Use a damp cloth to wipe away the error. If the paint has dried, you may need to sand the area lightly and reapply.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease. Lightly sand glossy tiles. Apply a second coat of paint.

Paint finish is uneven.

Ensure even application with a brush or roller. Avoid applying too much paint at once. Apply a second coat if needed.

Paint is peeling.

Make sure the surface is properly prepared. Ensure paint is fully dry before exposing to moisture or cleaning.
