This emulsion is specifically formulated for interior walls and is not recommended for wood surfaces.
Two coats are generally sufficient to achieve the full color depth and a professional finish.
The chalky finish is delicate; while light spot-cleaning is possible, it is not considered a scrubbable paint.
Due to the quick-drying nature, you can typically recoat after 2-4 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.
Being a low VOC formulation, it has a significantly reduced odor compared to traditional oil-based paints.
Ensure the surface was properly primed and that you are using a high-quality roller; avoid overworking the paint as it dries.
This is usually caused by damp or greasy surfaces; clean the wall thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before repainting.
Before application, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose flaking paint. If applying over fresh plaster, use a suitable mist coat or primer first. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are properly dispersed. For care, keep the painted surfaces away from excessive moisture and avoid scrubbing, as the matt finish is porous. If marks appear, gently spot-clean with a slightly damp microfiber cloth, taking care not to rub too hard, which may burnish the surface.
