Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint 2.5L - Botanical Extract - Green

Generally, two coats are recommended to achieve a rich, even color and optimal durability. Darker colors or porous surfaces may benefit from an additional coat.

While suitable for indoor walls and ceilings, for high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens, we generally recommend using paints specifically formulated for those environments, which offer enhanced moisture and mold resistance. This paint is not designed for such environments.

Info needed: Specific coverage rate per litre is not provided in the product information. Typically, a 2.5L tin of emulsion paint covers approximately 25-30 square meters with two coats, but actual coverage can vary based on surface porosity and application method.

Info needed: Specific drying and recoat times are not provided in the product information. Most emulsion paints are touch-dry within 1-2 hours and can be recoated after 2-4 hours, but always refer to the product label for precise timings once available.

Priming is recommended for bare, new, or highly porous surfaces, as well as when painting over very dark colors or stained areas. For previously painted, sound surfaces, priming may not be necessary.

For emulsion paints, a good quality synthetic brush is recommended for cutting in edges and corners. For larger areas, a medium-pile roller (e.g., 9-12mm pile) is generally suitable for achieving a smooth, even finish on walls and ceilings.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, smooth, primed if needed). Apply paint evenly in consistent strokes, avoiding over-brushing. Allow sufficient drying time between coats and apply adequate coats.

Thoroughly clean and dry the surface before painting. Remove any loose or flaking old paint. For bare or chalky surfaces, apply a suitable primer or sealer first.

Colors can vary slightly depending on lighting and surrounding decor. Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred to mix pigments properly. Always test a small area before committing to the full project.

Ensure good ventilation in the room. Avoid applying overly thick coats, as this prolongs drying time. Check ambient temperature and humidity; paint dries slower in cold, damp conditions.
