FAQs

How many coats of paint should I apply?

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and durability.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While wipeable, this paint is best suited for rooms with moderate humidity. For bathrooms, consider paints specifically designed for high-moisture environments.

How do I clean the paint?

Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Is priming necessary?

Priming is recommended, especially for unpainted surfaces or if painting over a dark colour.

What kind of roller should I use?

A short to medium-nap roller is recommended for a smooth finish.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Check the paint container for specific drying times, but generally, allow several hours between coats.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky after application.

Ensure even coverage by applying a second coat. Make sure you are using enough paint and that the roller or brush is loaded properly. Avoid overworking the paint.

Paint doesn't adhere properly.

Check that the surface was properly prepared. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and primed if necessary. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Colour appears different from expected.

Make sure you stirred the paint thoroughly. Check lighting conditions, as these can affect how colour is perceived. If the colour is still off, consider a test patch before painting the entire area.
