Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint 5L - Brown

For best results and full coverage, two coats are generally recommended, especially if painting over a darker or contrasting colour. Allow appropriate drying time between coats.

The paint is typically touch-dry in 2-4 hours. Allow 4 hours before applying a second coat. Full cure time may vary but is usually within 7-14 days.

While it can be used, this matt emulsion is not specifically designed for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens. For these rooms, a paint with enhanced moisture and steam resistance is usually recommended.

Do not pour paint down drains. Allow small amounts of leftover paint to dry completely in the tin or on newspaper before disposing of it with general waste. For larger quantities, check with your local council for hazardous waste disposal guidelines.

As a matt emulsion, it has limited washability compared to silk or satin finishes. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth may be possible for small marks, but aggressive scrubbing can damage the finish.

It's generally not recommended to paint directly over wallpaper, especially if it's peeling or heavily textured. For best results, wallpaper should be removed, and the wall prepared before painting.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Apply paint in thin, even coats, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Ensure you are applying enough paint without overloading the brush/roller. A primer may be needed for very dark or porous surfaces.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure all loose or old paint is scraped off, and the surface is clean, dry, and sound before applying.

Avoid overloading your brush or roller. Apply thinner, even coats. Work from top to bottom, catching any drips as you go.
