FAQs

What type of finish does this paint provide?

This paint provides a flat matt finish, which is non-reflective and ideal for hiding surface imperfections.

Can this paint be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it's a durable vinyl matt, it's primarily recommended for general interior walls and ceilings. For high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms, specialized moisture-resistant paints are generally preferred to prevent issues like mould growth or peeling.

How many coats should I apply?

Two coats are typically recommended for best results, ensuring optimal colour depth and a uniform finish. However, coverage can vary depending on the previous colour and surface condition.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No, this product is mixed to order and cannot be returned or refunded.

How should I prepare the surface before painting?

The surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Any cracks or holes should be repaired. Use a primer on new plaster or very porous surfaces.

Is this paint washable?

The vinyl matt formulation allows for cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent for most marks, making it practical for everyday use.

What colour family is this paint?

This specific product is in the Cream colour family.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven after application.

Ensure the paint was applied evenly and with a wet edge. Insufficient paint or over-spreading can cause patchiness. Apply a further coat if necessary, ensuring even application.

Surface imperfections are still visible.

While the matt finish helps disguise minor flaws, significant imperfections may require filling and sanding before painting. Consider a primer specifically designed for covering imperfections if issues persist.

Paint is difficult to spread.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and not overly absorbent. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. If the paint is too thick for your preference, a very small amount of water may be added (check product data for specific dilution ratios, though generally not recommended for vinyl matt unless specified).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Repair any cracks or holes before application. For best results on new plaster or porous surfaces, apply a suitable mist coat or primer.

Application: This paint is suitable for application by brush or roller. Stir thoroughly before use. Apply generously and evenly, avoiding over-spreading. For best results, maintain a wet edge to avoid patchiness. Two coats are typically recommended for optimal colour and finish.
